Abstract
Novel strategies utilizing light in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II; 900-1,880 nm wavelengths) offer the potential to visualize and treat solid tumours with enhanced precision. Over the past few decades, numerous techniques leveraging NIR-II light have been developed with the aim of precisely eliminating tumours while maximally preserving organ function. During cancer surgery, NIR-II optical imaging enables the visualization of clinically occult lesions and surrounding vital structures with increased sensitivity and resolution, thereby enhancing surgical quality and improving patient prognosis. Furthermore, the use of NIR-II light promises to improve cancer phototherapy by enabling the selective delivery of increased therapeutic energy to tissues at greater depths. Initial clinical studies of NIR-II-based imaging and phototherapy have indicated impressive potential to decrease cancer recurrence, reduce complications and prolong survival. Despite the encouraging results achieved, clinical translation of innovative NIR-II techniques remains challenging and inefficient; multidisciplinary cooperation is necessary to bridge the gap between preclinical research and clinical practice, and thus accelerate the translation of technical advances into clinical benefits. In this Review, we summarize the available clinical data on NIR-II-based imaging and phototherapy, demonstrating the feasibility and utility of integrating these technologies into the treatment of cancer. We also introduce emerging NIR-II-based approaches with substantial potential to further enhance patient outcomes, while also highlighting the challenges associated with imminent clinical studies of these modalities.

Abstract
NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT) has been widely investigated due to its great application potential in tumor theranostics. PTT is an effective and non-invasive tumor treatment method that can adapt to tumor hypoxia; nevertheless, simple and effective strategies are still desired to develop new materials with excellent PTT properties to meet clinical requirements. In this work, we developed a bromine-substitution strategy to enhance the PTT of A-D-A'-D-A π-conjugated molecules. The experimental results reveal that bromine substitution can notably enhance the absorptivity (ϵ) and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of the π-conjugated molecules, resulting in the brominated molecules generating two times more heat (ϵ808 nm ×PCE) than their unsubstituted counterpart. We disclose that the enhanced photothermal properties of bromine-substituted π-conjugated molecules are a combined outcome of the heavy-atom effect, enhanced ICT effect, and more intense bromine-mediate intermolecular π-π stacking. Finally, the NIR-II tumor imaging capability and efficient PTT tumor ablation of the brominated π-conjugated materials demonstrate that bromine substitution is a promising strategy for developing future high-performance NIR-II imaging-guided PTT agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) can play a key role in improving radical resection rates by assisting surgeons to gain adequate visualization of malignant tissue intraoperatively. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) possess optimal pharmacokinetic and other properties for in vivo imaging. This study aims to evaluate the preclinical potential of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-binding DARPins as targeting moieties for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging of cancer. METHODS EpCAM-binding DARPins Ac2, Ec4.1, and non-binding control DARPin Off7 were conjugated to IRDye 800CW and their binding efficacy was evaluated on EpCAM-positive HT-29 and EpCAM-negative COLO-320 human colon cancer cell lines. Thereafter, NIRF and PA imaging of all three conjugates were performed in HT-29_luc2 tumor-bearing mice. At 24 h post-injection, tumors and organs were resected and tracer biodistributions were analyzed. RESULTS Ac2-800CW and Ec4.1-800CW specifically bound to HT-29 cells, but not to COLO-320 cells. Next, 6 nmol and 24 h were established as the optimal in vivo dose and imaging time point for both DARPin tracers. At 24 h post-injection, mean tumor-to-background ratios of 2.60 ± 0.3 and 3.1 ± 0.3 were observed for Ac2-800CW and Ec4.1-800CW, respectively, allowing clear tumor delineation using the clinical Artemis NIRF imager. Biodistribution analyses in non-neoplastic tissue solely showed high fluorescence signal in the liver and kidney, which reflects the clearance of the DARPin tracers. CONCLUSION Our encouraging results show that EpCAM-binding DARPins are a promising class of targeting moieties for pan-carcinoma targeting, providing clear tumor delineation at 24 h post-injection. The work described provides the preclinical foundation for DARPin-based bimodal NIRF/PA imaging of cancer.

Abstract
The diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases currently relies primarily on invasive procedures like digestive endoscopy. However, these procedures can cause discomfort, respiratory issues, and bacterial infections in patients, both during and after the examination. In recent years, nanomedicine has emerged as a promising field, providing significant advancements in diagnostic techniques. Nanoprobes, in particular, offer distinct advantages, such as high specificity and sensitivity in detecting GI diseases. Integration of nanoprobes with advanced imaging techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, optical fluorescence imaging, tomography, and optical correlation tomography, has significantly enhanced the detection capabilities for GI tumors and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This synergy enables early diagnosis and precise staging of GI disorders. Among the nanoparticles investigated for clinical applications, superparamagnetic iron oxide, quantum dots, single carbon nanotubes, and nanocages have emerged as extensively studied and utilized agents. This review aimed to provide insights into the potential applications of nanoparticles in modern imaging techniques, with a specific focus on their role in facilitating early and specific diagnosis of a range of GI disorders, including IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, we discussed the challenges associated with the implementation of nanotechnology-based GI diagnostics and explored future prospects for translation in this promising field.

Abstract
Optical molecular tomography (OMT) is an emerging imaging technique. To date, the poor universality of reconstruction algorithms based on deep learning for various imaged objects and optical probes limits the development and application of OMT. In this study, based on a new mapping representation, a multimodal and multitask reconstruction framework-3D deep optical learning (3DOL), was presented to overcome the limitations of OMT in universality by decomposing it into two tasks, optical field recovery and luminous source reconstruction. Specifically, slices of the original anatomy (provided by computed tomography) and boundary optical measurement of imaged objects serve as inputs of a recurrent convolutional neural network encoded parallel to extract multimodal features, and 2D information from a few axial planes within the samples is explicitly incorporated, which enables 3DOL to recognize different imaged objects. Subsequently, the optical field is recovered under the constraint of the object geometry, and then the luminous source is segmented by a learnable Laplace operator from the recovered optical field, which obtains stable and high-quality reconstruction results with extremely few parameters. This strategy enable 3DOL to better understand the relationship between the boundary optical measurement, optical field, and luminous source to improve 3DOL's ability to work in a wide range of spectra. The results of numerical simulations, physical phantoms, and in vivo experiments demonstrate that 3DOL is a compatible deep-learning approach to tomographic imaging diverse objects. Moreover, the fully trained 3DOL under specific wavelengths can be generalized to other spectra in the 620-900 nm NIR-I window.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) has become a prevalent choice owing to its appealing advantages like deep penetration depth, low autofluorescence, decent spatiotemporal resolution, and a high signal-to-background ratio. This would expedite the innovation of NIR-II imaging-guided drug delivery (IGDD) paradigms for the improvement of the prognosis of patients with tumors. This work systematically reviews the recent progress of such NIR-II IGDD-mediated cancer therapeutics and collectively brings its essence to the readers. Special care has been taken to assess their performances based on their design approach, such as enhancing their drug loading and triggering release, designing intrinsic and extrinsic fluorophores, and/ or overcoming biological barriers. Besides, the state-of-the-art NIR-II IGDD platforms for different therapies like chemo-, photodynamic, photothermal, chemodynamic, immuno-, ion channel, gas-therapies, and multiple functions such as stimulus-responsive imaging and therapy, and monitoring of drug release and therapeutic response, have been updated. In addition, for boosting theranostic outcomes and clinical translation, the innovation directions of NIR-II IGDD platforms are summarized, including renal-clearable, biodegradable, sub-cellular targeting, and/or afterglow, chemiluminescence, X-ray excitable NIR-IGDD, and even cell therapy. This review will propel new directions for safe and efficient NIR-II fluorescence-mediated anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
The first line of treatment for most solid tumors is surgical resection of the primary tumor with adequate negative margins. Incomplete tumor resections with positive margins account for over 75% of local recurrences and the development of distant metastases. In cases of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the rate of successful tumor removal with adequate margins is just 50-75%. Advanced real-time imaging methods that improve the detection of tumor margins can help improve success rates,overall safety, and reduce the cost. Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has the potential to revolutionize the field due to its high spatial resolution, low background signal, and deep tissue penetration properties, but NIR-II dyes with adequate in vivo performance and safety profiles are scarce. A novel NIR-II fluorophore, XW-03-66, with a fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of 6.0% in aqueous media is reported. XW-03-66 self-assembles into nanoparticles (≈80 nm) and has a systemic circulation half-life (t1/2 ) of 11.3 h. In mouse models of human papillomavirus (HPV)+ and HPV- OSCC, XW-03-66 outperformed indocyanine green (ICG), a clinically available NIR dye, and enabled intraoperative NIR-II image-guided resection of the tumor and adjacent draining lymph node with negative margins. In vitro and in vivo toxicity assessments revealed minimal safety concerns for in vivo applications.

Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) imaging has become a fundamental tool in disease diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation, and surgical navigation applications. However, it remains a big challenge to engineer nanoprobes for high-efficiency in vivo imaging and clinical translation. Recent years have witnessed increasing research efforts devoted into engineering sub-10 nm ultrasmall nanoprobes for in vivo PL imaging, which offer the advantages of efficient body clearance, desired clinical translation potential, and high imaging signal-to-noise ratio. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary and contrastive discussion of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes towards in vivo PL bioimaging of diseases. We first summarize size-dependent nano-bio interactions and imaging features, illustrating the unique attributes and advantages/disadvantages of ultrasmall nanoprobes differentiating them from molecular and large-sized probes. We also discuss general design methodologies and PL properties of emerging ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes, which are established based on quantum dots, metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, and silicon nanoparticles. Then, recent advances of ultrasmall luminescent nanoprobes are highlighted by surveying their latest in vivo PL imaging applications. Finally, we discuss existing challenges in this exciting field and propose some strategies to improve in vivo PL bioimaging and further propel their clinical applications.

Abstract
Lymph node metastasis is an indicator of the invasiveness and aggressiveness of cancer. It is a vital prognostic factor in clinical staging of the disease and therapeutic decision-making. Patients with positive metastatic lymph nodes are likely to develop recurrent disease, distant metastasis, and succumb to death in the coming few years. Lymph node dissection and histological analysis are needed to detect whether regional lymph nodes have been infiltrated by cancer cells and determine the likely outcome of treatment and the patient's chances of survival. However, these procedures are invasive, and tissue biopsies are prone to sampling error. In recent years, advanced molecular imaging with novel imaging probes has provided new technologies that are contributing to comprehensive management of cancer, including non-invasive investigation of lymphatic drainage from tumors, identifying metastatic lymph nodes, and guiding surgeons to operate efficiently in patients with complex lesions. In this review, first, we outline the current status of different molecular imaging modalities applied for lymph node metastasis management. Second, we summarize the multi-functional imaging probes applied with the different imaging modalities as well as applications of cancer lymph node metastasis from preclinical studies to clinical translations. Third, we describe the limitations that must be considered in the field of molecular imaging for improved detection of lymph node metastasis. Finally, we propose future directions for molecular imaging technology that will allow more personalized treatment plans for patients with lymph node metastasis.

EBioMedicine 2023; 89:104476. [PMID: 36801616 PMCID: PMC9972495 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2023.104476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is the cornerstone of colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, yet complete removal of the tumour remains a challenge. The second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescent molecular imaging is a novel technique, which has broad application prospects in tumour surgical navigation. We aimed to evaluate the ability of CEACAM5-targeted probe for CRC recognition and the value of NIR-II imaging-guided CRC resection. METHODS We constructed the probe 2D5-IRDye800CW by conjugated anti-CEACAM5 nanobody (2D5) with near-infrared fluorescent dye IRDye800CW. The performance and benefits of 2D5-IRDye800CW at NIR-II were confirmed by imaging experiments in mouse vascular and capillary phantom. Then mouse colorectal cancer subcutaneous tumour model (n = 15), orthotopic model (n = 15), and peritoneal metastasis model (n = 10) were constructed to investigate biodistribution of probe and imaging differences between NIR-I and NIR-II in vivo, and then tumour resection was guided by NIR-II fluorescence. Fresh human colorectal cancer specimens were incubated with 2D5-IRDye800CW to verify its specific targeting ability. FINDINGS 2D5-IRDye800CW had an NIR-II fluorescence signal extending to 1600 nm and bound specifically to CEACAM5 with an affinity of 2.29 nM. In vivo imaging, 2D5-IRDye800CW accumulated rapidly in tumour (15 min) and could specifically identify orthotopic colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases. All tumours were resected under NIR-II fluorescence guidance, even smaller than 2 mm tumours were detected, and NIR-II had a higher tumour-to-background ratio than NIR-I (2.55 ± 0.38, 1.94 ± 0.20, respectively). 2D5-IRDye800CW could precisely identify CEACAM5-positive human colorectal cancer tissue. INTERPRETATION 2D5-IRDye800CW combined with NIR-II fluorescence has translational potential as an aid to improve R0 surgery of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Molecular targets serve a crucial role in drug development. Herein, we discovered a novel peptide that can specifically target the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and thus named it Herceptide. In our study, Herceptide was conjugated to the near-infrared fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) to obtain a probe, ICG-Herceptide. Importantly, specific binding to HER2 was revealed by molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance analysis, and competition assays. The probe showed high binding affinity (KD = 1.03 nM) and fast binding property (kon = 0.44 min-1). In vivo near-infrared window two (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) imaging in HER2-overexpressed SKOV3 tumor-bearing mice demonstrated a high tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratio (T/N = 7.3) at 8 h postinjection. In the blocking study, ICG-Herceptide coinjected with Herceptide only showed a weak tumor signal. In other HER2 high-expression tumors, such as non-small-cell lung cancer A549 and gastric cancer MKN45, the tumor-to-normal tissue signal ratios (T/N) were 4.1 and 4.7, respectively. In contrast, HER2 low-expression tumor MDAMB231 shows no imaging contrast between the tumor and normal tissues. Furthermore, tumor resection was successfully performed under the guidance of the ICG-Herceptide-based NIR-II imaging in subcutaneous SKOV3 mice models. The biocompatibility study indicated that the probe had no observable toxicity to cells and tissues. Overall, these results demonstrate that ICG-Herceptide is a promising optical probe for the diagnosis and localization of HER2-overexpressing tumors. Moreover, Herceptide is a novel HER2-targeting peptide and can be further used for developing theranostic agents.

Targeting EGFR and Monitoring Tumorigenesis of Human Lung Cancer Cells In Vitro and In Vivo Using Nanodiamond-Conjugated Specific EGFR Antibody. Pharmaceutics 2022; 15:pharmaceutics15010111.

Abstract
Nanoprobes provide advantages for real-time monitoring of tumor markers and tumorigenesis during cancer progression and development. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key protein that plays crucial roles for tumorigenesis and cancer therapy of lung cancers. Here, we show a carbon-based nanoprobe, nanodiamond (ND), which can be applied for targeting EGFR and monitoring tumorigenesis of human lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The optimal fluorescent intensities of ND particles were observed in the human lung cancer cells and nude mice under in vivo imaging system. The fluorescence signal of ND particles can be real-time detected in the xenografted human lung tumor formation of nude mice. Moreover, the ND-conjugated specific EGFR antibody cetuximab (Cet) can track the location and distribution of EGFR proteins of lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. ND-Cet treatment increased cellular uptake ability of nanocomposites in the EGFR-expressed cells but not in the EGFR-negative lung cancer cells. Interestingly, single ND-Cet complex can be directly observed on the protein G bead by immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy. Besides, the EGFR proteins were transported to lysosomes for degradation. Together, this study demonstrates that ND-conjugated Cet can apply for targeting EGFR and monitoring tumorigenesis during lung cancer progression and therapy.

Abstract
Dynamic manipulation of supramolecular self-assembled structures is achieved irreversibly or under non-physiological conditions, thereby limiting their biomedical, environmental, and catalysis applicability. In this study, microgels composed of azobenzene derivatives stacked via π-cation and π-π interactions are developed that are electrostatically stabilized with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-bearing anionic polymers. Lateral swelling of RGD-bearing microgels occurs via cis-azobenzene formation mediated by near-infrared-light-upconverted ultraviolet light, which disrupts intermolecular interactions on the visible-light-absorbing upconversion-nanoparticle-coated materials. Real-time imaging and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate the deswelling of RGD-bearing microgels via visible-light-mediated trans-azobenzene formation. Near-infrared light can induce in situ swelling of RGD-bearing microgels to increase RGD availability and trigger release of loaded interleukin-4, which facilitates the adhesion structure assembly linked with pro-regenerative polarization of host macrophages. In contrast, visible light can induce deswelling of RGD-bearing microgels to decrease RGD availability that suppresses macrophage adhesion that yields pro-inflammatory polarization. These microgels exhibit high stability and non-toxicity. Versatile use of ligands and protein delivery can offer cytocompatible and photoswitchable manipulability of diverse host cells.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy mainly relies on activating the immune system to achieve antitumor treatment. However, the present tumor immunotherapy used in the clinic showed low treatment efficacy with high systematic toxicity. To overcome the shortcomings of traditional drugs for immunotherapy, a series of antitumor immunotherapies based on nanomaterials have been developed to enhance the body’s antitumor immune response and reduce systematic toxicity. Due to the noninvasiveness, remote controllability, and high temporal and spatial resolution of light, photocontrolled nanomaterials irradiated by excitation light have been widely used in drug delivery and photocontrolled switching. This review aims to highlight recent advances in antitumor immunotherapy based on photocontrolled nanomaterials. We emphasized the advantages of nanocomposites for antitumor immunotherapy and highlighted the latest progress of antitumor immunotherapy based on photoactivated nanomaterials. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of light-activated nanomaterials in antitumor immunity are discussed.

Abstract
Glioma grading during surgery can help clinical treatment planning and prognosis, but intraoperative pathological examination of frozen sections is limited by the long processing time and complex procedures. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging provides chances for fast and accurate real-time diagnosis. Recently, deep learning techniques have been actively explored for medical image analysis and disease diagnosis. However, issues of near-infrared fluorescence images, including small-scale, noise, and low-resolution, increase the difficulty of training a satisfying network. Multi-modal imaging can provide complementary information to boost model performance, but simultaneously designing a proper network and utilizing the information of multi-modal data is challenging. In this work, we propose a novel neural architecture search method DLS-DARTS to automatically search for network architectures to handle these issues. DLS-DARTS has two learnable stems for multi-modal low-level feature fusion and uses a modified perturbation-based derivation strategy to improve the performance on the area under the curve and accuracy. White light imaging and fluorescence imaging in the first near-infrared window (650-900 nm) and the second near-infrared window (1,000-1,700 nm) are applied to provide multi-modal information on glioma tissues. In the experiments on 1,115 surgical glioma specimens, DLS-DARTS achieved an area under the curve of 0.843 and an accuracy of 0.634, which outperformed manually designed convolutional neural networks including ResNet, PyramidNet, and EfficientNet, and a state-of-the-art neural architecture search method for multi-modal medical image classification. Our study demonstrates that DLS-DARTS has the potential to help neurosurgeons during surgery, showing high prospects in medical image analysis.

Abstract
Multimodality imaging recognized as a promising monitoring strategy can serve the needs of accurate diagnosis and treatment of cancer by providing molecular and anatomic information about tumor sites. However, the probes based on multiple imaging modalities for surgery navigation remain limited due to poor biocompatibility and tumor targeting specificity. Herein, we present a small-molecule near-infrared fluorescence/magnetic resonance (NIRF/MR) imaging probe, Gd-NMC-3, covalently coupled with DCDSTCY and Gd-DOTA via butane diamine, for precise detection and intraoperative visualization. The in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Gd-NMC-3 could be effectively accumulated in tumor sites as a bimodal imaging molecule exhibiting significant fluorescence accumulation and reasonable relaxation property in tumors with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, Gd-NMC-3 was successfully applied to provide real-time visual navigation in LM3 orthotopic and subcutaneous tumor models to guide the resection of tumors. Importantly, no more fluorescence was observed in mice after operation, implying the total removal of tumor tissues. In conclusion, Gd-NMC-3 has great potential to be applied in the clinic based on its high resolution and sensitivity in tumor imaging.

PET/NIR-II fluorescence imaging and image-guided surgery of glioblastoma using a folate receptor α-targeted dual-modal nanoprobe. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2022; 49:4325-4337. [PMID: 35838757 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-022-05890-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The surgery of glioblastoma (GBM) requires a maximal resection of the tumor when it is safe and feasible. The infiltrating growth property of the GBM makes it a challenge for neurosurgeons to identify the tumor tissue even with the assistance of the surgical microscope. This highlights the urgent requirement for imaging techniques that can differentiate tumor tissues during surgery in real time. Fluorescence image-guided surgery of GBM has been investigated using several non-specific fluorescent probes that emit light in the visible and the first near-infrared window (NIR-I, 700-900 nm), which limit the detection accuracy because of the non-specific targeting mechanism and spectral characteristics. Targeted NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) fluorescent probes for GBM are thus highly desired. The folate receptor (FR) has been reported to be upregulated in GBM, which renders it to be a promising target for specific tumor imaging. METHODS In this study, the folic acid (FA) that can target the FR was conjugated with the clinically approved indocyanine green (ICG) dye and DOTA chelator for radiolabeling with 64Cu to achieve targeted positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorescence imaging of GBM. RESULTS Surprisingly it was found that the resulted bioconjugate, DOTA-FA-ICG and non-radioactive natCu-DOTA-FA-ICG, were both self-assembled into nanoparticles with NIR-II emission signal. The radiolabeled DOTA-FA-ICG, 64Cu-DOTA-FA-ICG, was found to specifically accumulate in the orthotopic GBM models using in vivo PET, NIR-II, and NIR-I fluorescence imaging. The best time window of fluorescence imaging was demonstrated to be 24 h after DOTA-FA-ICG injection. NIR-II fluorescence image-guided surgery was successfully conducted in the orthotopic GBM models using DOTA-FA-ICG. All the fluorescent tissue was removed and proved to be GBM by the H&E examination. CONCLUSION Overall, our study demonstrates that the probes, 64Cu-DOTA-FA-ICG and DOTA-FA-ICG, hold promise for preoperative PET examination and intraoperative NIR-II fluorescence image-guided surgery of GBM, respectively.

Abstract
This paper reports the generation of fundamental solitons and third-order solitons in an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) by a Cr2Ge2Te6-polyvinyl alcohol (CGT-PVA) saturable absorber (SA). Stable fundamental solitons at 1559.09 nm at a repetition frequency of 5.1 MHz were detected, and third-order solitons with a maximum output power of 6.807 mW and narrowest monopulse duration of 615.2 fs were obtained under a repetition frequency of 15.3 MHz by changing pump power. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to achieve a Q-switched pulse with a minimum pulse duration of 2.2 µs and maximum single pulse energy of 12.11 nJ in EDFL based on CGT-PVA SA after reducing the cavity length. Its repetition rate monotonically increased from 18.8 kHz to 61.8 kHz with a tuning range of about 43 kHz. The experimental results sufficiently demonstrate that CGT has enormous potential as an ultrafast photonics device.

Abstract
Molecular imaging offers the possibility to investigate biological and biochemical processes non-invasively and to obtain information on both anatomy and dysfunctions. Based on the data obtained, a fundamental understanding of various disease processes can be derived and treatment strategies can be planned. In this context, methods that combine several modalities in one probe are increasingly being used. Due to the comparably high sensitivity and provided complementary information, the combination of nuclear and optical probes has taken on a special significance. In this review article, dual-labelled systems for bimodal nuclear and optical imaging based on both modular ligands and nanomaterials are discussed. Particular attention is paid to radiometal-labelled molecules for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) and metal complexes combined with fluorescent dyes for optical imaging. The clinical potential of such probes, especially for fluorescence-guided surgery, is assessed.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cancer type worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common subtype. Non-disseminated NSCLC is mainly treated with surgical resection. The intraoperative detection of lung cancer can be challenging, since small and deeply located pulmonary nodules can be invisible under white light. Due to the increasing use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, tactile information is often reduced. Therefore, several intraoperative imaging techniques have been tested to localize pulmonary nodules, of which near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence is an emerging modality. In this systematic review, the available literature on fluorescence imaging of lung cancers is presented, which shows that NIR fluorescence-guided lung surgery has the potential to identify the tumor during surgery, detect additional lesions and prevent tumor-positive resection margins.

Abstract
Purpose China has the largest cancer population globally. Surgery is the main choice for most solid cancer patients. Intraoperative fluorescence molecular imaging (FMI) has shown its great potential in assisting surgeons in achieving precise resection. We summarized the typical applications of intraoperative FMI and several new trends to promote the development of precision surgery. Methods The academic database and NIH clinical trial platform were systematically evaluated. We focused on the clinical application of intraoperative FMI in China. Special emphasis was placed on a series of typical studies with new technologies or high-level evidence. The emerging strategy of combining FMI with other modalities was also discussed. Results The clinical applications of clinically approved indocyanine green (ICG), methylene blue (MB), or fluorescein are on the rise in different surgical departments. Intraoperative FMI has achieved precise lesion detection, sentinel lymph node mapping, and lymphangiography for many cancers. Nerve imaging is also exploring to reduce iatrogenic injuries. Through different administration routes, these fluorescent imaging agents provided encouraging results in surgical navigation. Meanwhile, designing new cancer-specific fluorescent tracers is expected to be a promising trend to further improve the surgical outcome. Conclusions Intraoperative FMI is in a rapid development in China. In-depth understanding of cancer-related molecular mechanisms is necessary to achieve precision surgery. Molecular-targeted fluorescent agents and multi-modal imaging techniques might play crucial roles in the era of precision surgery.

Abstract
Cancer is the most common life-threatening malignant disease. The future of personalized cancer treatments relies on the development of functional agents that have tumor-targeted anticancer activities and can be detected in tumors through imaging. Cyanines, especially heptamethine cyanine (Cy7), have prospective application because of their excellent tumor-targeting capacity, high quantum yield, low tissue autofluorescence, long absorption wavelength, and low background interference. In this review, the application of Cy7 and its derivatives in tumors is comprehensively explored. Cy7 is enormously acknowledged in the field of non-invasive therapy that can “detect” and “kill” tumor cells via near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Furthermore, Cy7 is more available and has excellent properties in cancer theranostics by the presence of multifunctional nanoparticles via fulfilling multimodal imaging and combination therapy simultaneously. This review provides a comprehensive scope of Cy7’s application for cancer NIRF imaging, phototherapy, nanoprobe-based combination therapy in recent years. A deeper understanding of the application of imaging and treatment underlying Cy7 in cancer may provide new strategies for drug development based on cyanine. Thus, the review will lead the way to new types with optical properties and practical transformation to clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The near-infrared window II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) imaging, including NIR-IIa (1300-1400 mm) and NIR-IIb (1500-1700 mm), outperforms the near-infrared window I (NIR-I, 700-900 nm) imaging in biological researches. However, the advantages of NIR-IIa/IIb imaging in human study are ambiguous. This study aims to apply the NIR-IIa/IIb imaging to glioma resection and evaluate their performance by using the developed imaging instrument and intraoperative image fusion method. METHODS A multispectral fluorescence imaging instrument that integrated NIR-I/II/IIa/IIb fluorescence imaging and an intraoperative image fusion method have been developed. Seven patients with grade III/IV glioma have been enrolled. NIR-I/II images of the tumor and NIR-I/II/IIa/IIb images of cerebral vessels were acquired with the administration of indocyanine green. Images were fused using the specialized fusion method to synchronously provide the distribution of the vessels and the surgical boundaries. RESULTS The NIR-IIa/IIb imaging was successfully applied to the clinic. High imaging resolution and contrast have been attained in the NIR-IIa/IIb regions. Besides, capillaries with an apparent diameter as small as 182 m were acquired using NIR-IIb imaging. Tumor-feeding arteries were precisely blocked and tumors were excised to the maximum extent for all patients. The blood loss volume during surgery was significantly reduced compared with the control group. CONCLUSION The multispectral fluorescence imaging showed high performance, which led to a significant reduction in blood loss volume. SIGNIFICANCE The novel multispectral fluorescence imaging technology can assist surgeons in other vascular surgeries in the future.

Abstract
Fluorescence-guided surgery using tumour-targeted imaging agents has emerged over the past decade as a promising and effective method of intraoperative cancer detection. An impressive number of fluorescently labelled antibodies, peptides, particles and other molecules related to cancer hallmarks have been developed for the illumination of target lesions. New approaches are being implemented to translate these imaging agents into the clinic, although only a few have made it past early-phase clinical trials. For this translational process to succeed, target selection, imaging agents and their related detection systems and clinical implementation have to operate in perfect harmony to enable real-time intraoperative visualization that can benefit patients. Herein, we review key aspects of this imaging cascade and focus on imaging approaches and methods that have helped to shed new light onto the field of intraoperative fluorescence-guided cancer surgery with the singular goal of improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Most nanoparticles show much higher uptake in mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) organs than in tumors, which has been a long-lasting dilemma in nanomedicine. Here, we report an imaging strategy that selectively decreases MPS organ uptakes by utilizing the differential esterase activity in tumors and other organs. When an esterase-labile radiotracer loaded liposome was injected into the body, radioactivity was rapidly excreted from the liver and spleen after breakage of the ester bond by esterase. However, the lipophilic radiotracer delivered to the tumor remained in the tumor with minimal bond cleavage. The underlying mechanism was fully characterized in vitro and in vivo in colon tumor models. As a proof of concept, the liposomal radiotracer was further optimized for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. The folate-coated liposomal radiotracer showed highly selective tumor uptake. At 4 h postinjection, a pancreatic tumor a few millimeters in size was unambiguously visualized in orthotopic tumor models by PET imaging. At 24 h, an exceptionally high tumor-to-background ratio was achieved, enabling the visualization of tumors alone with minimal background noise. More than 9% of the total radioactivity was found in the tumor. Utilizing our imaging strategy, various tumor imaging agents can be developed for sensitive detection with ultrahigh contrast.

Abstract
Despite clinical advances in diagnosis and treatment, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains the third leading cause of cancer death, and is still associated with poor prognosis and dismal survival rates. Identifying novel PDAC-targeted tools to tackle these unmet clinical needs is thus an urgent requirement. Here we use a peptide conjugate that specifically targets PDAC through low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). We demonstrate by using near-infrared fluorescence imaging the potential of this conjugate to specifically detect and discriminate primary PDAC from healthy organs including pancreas and from benign mass-forming chronic pancreatitis, as well as detect metastatic pancreatic cancer cells in healthy liver. This work paves the way towards clinical applications in which safe LDLR-targeting peptide conjugate promotes tumor-specific delivery of imaging and/or therapeutic agents, thereby leading to substantial improvements of the PDAC patient’s outcome. Acier et al. investigated a peptide cargo system, the Fc(A680)-VH4127, that targets PDAC through the LDLR cell-surface receptor. The Fc(A680)-VH4127 was found to specifically target spontaneous pancreatic tumors in KICmice, as well as metastatic pancreatic tumors in liver.

Abstract
Because of direct π-π interactions and excessive energy resonance transfer, it is very challenging to prepare carbon dots (CDs) with a high fluorescence quantum yield (QY) in the solid state. In this study, novel CDs which gave solid-state fluorescence (SSF) with high brightness were successfully prepared via a simple microwave-assisted method. The prepared ScCDs can emit strong blue fluorescence in the solid state, and the absolute QY of this ScCDs powder reaches 51.7%. Such a high QY means that the ScCDs powder could be successfully applied in rapid latent fingerprint (LFP) detection. The LFP detection performance of this ScCDs powder was studied in detail, and the results show that the LFPs developed using the ScCDs powder can be visualized with high definition and contrast under different conditions. This research not only developed a new type of SSF-emitting CDs, but it also proved that the developed CDs have great potential for applications in LFP detection, and this research may also provide inspiration and ideas for the design of new SSF-emitting CDs.

Abstract
Rational design of efficient lanthanide-doped down-shifting nanoparticles (DSNPs) has attracted tremendous attention. However, energy loss was inevitable in the multiple Ln3+ doping systems owing to complex energy migration processes. Here, an efficient NaErF4@NaYF4@NaYF4:10%Nd@NaYF4 DSNP was tactfully designed, in which a buffer layer of NaYF4 was modulated to restrict the interionic energy migration between Er3+ and Nd3+; meanwhile, the surface defects were passivated by an outermost layer of NaYF4. Therefore, the as-prepared DSNPs exhibited two intensive near-infrared-II fluorescence emissions of 1525 nm from Er3+ and 1060 nm from doped Nd3+ under 808 nm excitation. Further, a novel ratiometric nanoprobe NaErF4@NaYF4@NaYF4:10%Nd@NaYF4@A1094 was fabricated by coupling an organic dye of A1094 onto the DSNP surface to quench the 1060 nm emission by the efficient Förster resonance energy transfer, while emission at 1525 nm retained. Thereafter, these activatable ratiometric nanoprobes were used for rapid and sensitive detection of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in vivo.

Abstract
The layered silicates Egyptian Blue (CaCuSi4O10, EB), Han Blue (BaCuSi4O10, HB) and Han Purple (BaCuSi2O6, HP) emit as bulk materials bright and stable fluorescence in the near-infrared (NIR), which is of high interest for (bio)photonics due to minimal scattering, absorption and phototoxicity in this spectral range. So far the optical properties of nanosheets (NS) of these silicates are poorly understood. Here, we exfoliate them into monodisperse nanosheets, report their physicochemical properties and use them for (bio)photonics. The approach uses ball milling followed by tip sonication and centrifugation steps to exfoliate the silicates into NS with lateral size and thickness down to ≈ 16-27 nm and 1-4 nm, respectively. They emit at ≈ 927 nm (EB-NS), 953 nm (HB-NS) and 924 nm (HP-NS), and single NS can be imaged in the NIR. The fluorescence lifetimes decrease from ≈ 30-100 μs (bulk) to 17 μs (EB-NS), 8 μs (HB-NS) and 7 μs (HP-NS), thus enabling lifetime-encoded multicolor imaging both on the microscopic and the macroscopic scale. Finally, remote imaging through tissue phantoms reveals the potential for bioimaging. In summary, we report a procedure to gain monodisperse NIR fluorescent silicate nanosheets, determine their size-dependent photophysical properties and showcase the potential for NIR photonics.

Abstract
Fluorescent surgical navigation can effectively aid tumor resection. As one of the most popular near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores, cyanine dye has the outstanding optical ability and the potential to act as a fluorescence probe for tumors. Herein, we report a polyethylene glycol-modified amphiphilic cyanine dye (Cy7-NPC) with an NIR luminescence performance, which can self-assemble to form uniform nanomicelles (Cy7-NPC-S) and which can be applied for the optical imaging of abdominal tumors and for fluorescence imaging-guided precision tumor resection. When applied to biological imaging, Cy7-NPC-S showed high biological safety, strong tissue penetration depth for optical imaging, and high optical imaging resolution. Intraperitoneal administration of Cy7-NPC-S produced remarkable imaging efficacy in abdominal tumors. Compared with intravenous injection, abdominal tumors took up intraperitoneal Cy7-NPC-S faster and in greater quantities, thus enabling Cy7-NPC-S to facilitate accurate recognition and extirpation of abdominal tumors in fluorescence-guided surgery. We believe that metabolizable Cy7-NPC-S with NIR luminescence has promising applications and value in the fields of in vivo imaging and fluorescent surgical navigation.

Abstract
A practical, modular synthesis of targeted molecular imaging agents (TMIAs) containing near-infrared dyes for optical molecular imaging (OMI) or chelated metals for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single-photon emission correlation tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET) has been developed. In the method, imaging modules are formed early in the synthesis by attaching imaging agents to the side chain of protected lysines. These modules may be assembled to provide a given set of single- or dual-modal imaging agents, which may be conjugated in the last steps of the synthesis under mild conditions to linkers and targeting groups. A key discovery was the ability of a metal such as gadolinium, useful in MRI, to serve as a protecting group for the chelator, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA). It was further discovered that two lanthanide metals, La and Ce, can double as protecting groups and placeholder metals, which may be transmetalated under mild conditions by metals used for PET in the final step. The modular method enabled the synthesis of discrete targeted probes with two of the same or different dyes, two same or different metals, or mixtures of dyes and metals. The approach was exemplified by the synthesis of single- or dual-modal imaging modules for MRI-OMI, PET-OMI, and PET-MRI, followed by conjugation to the integrin-seeking peptide, c(RGDyK). For Gd modules, their efficacy for MRI was verified by measuring the NMR spin-lattice relaxivity. To validate functional imaging of TMIAs, dual-modal agents containing Cy5.5 were shown to target A549 cancer cells by confocal fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract
Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is a novel optical imaging technique that has been applied in clinic using various radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals. However, clinical application of CLI has been limited by weak optical signal and restricted tissue penetration depth. Various fluorescent probes have been combined with radiopharmaceuticals for improved imaging performances. However, as most of these probes only interact with Cerenkov luminescence (CL), the low photon fluence of CL greatly restricted it's interaction with fluorescent probes for in vivo imaging. Therefore, it is important to develop probes that can effectively convert energy beyond CL such as β and γ to the low energy optical signals. In this study, a Eu3+ doped gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3:Eu) was synthesized and combined with radiopharmaceuticals to achieve a red-shifted optical spectrum with less tissue scattering and enhanced optical signal intensity in this study. The interaction between Gd2O3:Eu and radiopharmaceutical were investigated using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). The ex vivo optical signal intensity of the mixture of Gd2O3:Eu and 18F-FDG reached 369 times as high as that of CLI using 18F-FDG alone. To achieve improved biocompatibility, the Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles were then modified with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and the resulted nanoprobe PVA modified Gd2O3:Eu (Gd2O3:Eu@PVA) was applied in intraoperative tumor imaging. Compared with 18F-FDG alone, intraoperative administration of Gd2O3:Eu@PVA and 18F-FDG combination achieved a much higher tumor-to-normal tissue ratio (TNR, 10.24 ± 2.24 vs. 1.87 ± 0.73, P = 0.0030). The use of Gd2O3:Eu@PVA and 18F-FDG also assisted intraoperative detection of tumors that were omitted by preoperative positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Further experiment of image-guided surgery demonstrated feasibility of image-guided tumor resection using Gd2O3:Eu@PVA and 18F-FDG. In summary, Gd2O3:Eu can achieve significantly optimized imaging property when combined with 18F-FDG in intraoperative tumor imaging and image-guided tumor resection surgery. It is expected that the development of the Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticle will promote investigation and application of novel nanoparticles that can interact with radiopharmaceuticals for improved imaging properties. This work highlighted the impact of the nanoprobe that can be excited by radiopharmaceuticals emitting CL, β, and γ radiation for precisely imaging of tumor and intraoperatively guide tumor resection.

Abstract
Introduction Integrin α6 is an attractive diagnostic biomarker for molecular imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as it has an extremely high positive rate (approximately 94%) in clinical early-stage HCC. In this study, based on our previously identified integrin α6-targeted peptide, we developed an optimized integrin α6-targeted magnetic resonance (MR) probe dubbed DOTA(Gd)-ANADYWR for MR imaging of HCC in mice. Materials and Methods The longitudinal (R1) relaxivity of DOTA(Gd)-ANADYWR was measured on a 3.0 T MR system . The specific tumor enhancement of the agent was investigated in four distinct mouse models, including subcutaneous, orthotopic, genetically engineered and chemically induced HCC mice. Results The R1 relaxivity value of DOTA(Gd)-ANADYWR is 5.11 mM−1s−1 at 3.0 T, which is similar to that of the nonspecific clinical agent Gadoteridol. DOTA(Gd)-ANADYWR generated superior enhanced MR signal in HCC lesions and provided complementary enhancement MR signals to the clinically available hepatobiliary MR contrast agent gadoxetate disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA). Importantly, DOTA(Gd)-ANADYWR could efficiently visualize small HCC lesion (approximately 1 mm) which was hardly detected by the clinical Gd-EOB-DTPA. Conclusion These findings suggest the potential application of this integrin α6-targeted MR probe for the detection of HCC, particularly for small HCC.

Abstract
Owing to the complex anatomical structure, precise resection of a tumor while maintaining adjacent tissue is a challenge in radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer (PCa). Optical imaging in near-infrared window II (NIR-II) is a promising technology for intraoperative guidance, whereas there is no available probe for PCa yet. In this article, a novel probe (PSMA-1092) bearing two prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) binding motifs was developed, displaying excellent optical properties (λmax = 1092 nm) and ultrahigh affinity (Ki = 80 pM) toward PSMA. The tumor was visualized with high resolution (tissue-to-normal tissue ratio = 7.62 ± 1.05) and clear margin by NIR-II imaging using PSMA-1092 in a mouse model. During the tumor resection, residual tumors missed by visible inspection were detected by the real-time imaging. Overall, PSMA-1092 displayed excellent performance in delineating the tumor margin and detecting residual tumors, demonstrating promising potential for precise PCa tumor resection in clinical practice.

Abstract
Cancer is a known deadliest disease that requires a judicious diagnostic, targeting, and treatment strategy for an early prognosis and selective therapy. The major pitfalls of the conventional approach are non-specificity in targeting, failure to precisely monitor therapy outcome, and cancer progression leading to malignancies. The unique physicochemical properties offered by nanotechnology derived nanocarriers have the potential to radically change the landscape of cancer diagnosis and therapeutic management. An integrative approach of utilizing both diagnostic and therapeutic functionality using a nanocarrier is termed as nanotheranostic. The nanotheranostics platform is designed in such a way that overcomes various biological barriers, efficiently targets the payload to the desired locus, and simultaneously supports planning, monitoring, and verification of treatment delivery to demonstrate an enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Thus, a nanotheranostic platform could potentially assist in drug targeting, image-guided focal therapy, drug release and distribution monitoring, predictionof treatment response, and patient stratification. A class of highly branched nanocarriers known as dendrimers is recognized as an advanced nanotheranostic platform that has the potential to revolutionize the oncology arena by its unique and exciting features. A dendrimer is a well-defined three-dimensional globular chemical architecture with a high level of monodispersity, amenability of precise size control, and surface functionalization. All the dendrimer properties exhibit a reproducible pharmacokinetic behavior that could ensure the desired biodistribution and efficacy. Dendrimers are thus being exploited as a nanotheranostic platform embodying a diverse class of therapeutic, imaging, and targeting moieties for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The use of fluorescence imaging technique for visualization, resection and treatment of cancerous tissue, attained plenty of interest once the promise of whole body and deep tissue near-infrared (NIR) imaging emerged. Why is NIR so desired? Contrast agents with optical properties in the NIR spectral range offer an upgrade for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, by dint of the deep tissue penetration of light in the NIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum, also known as the optical window in biological tissue. Thus, the development of a new generation of NIR emitting and absorbing contrast agents able to overcome the shortcomings of the basic free dye administration is absolutely essential. Several examples of nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully implemented as carriers for NIR dye molecules to the tumour site owing to their prolonged blood circulation time and enhanced accumulation within the tumour, as well as their increased fluorescence signal relative to free fluorophore emission and active targeting of cancerous cells. Due to their versatile structure, good biocompatibility and capability to efficiently load dyes and bioconjugate with diverse cancer-targeting ligands, the research area of developing protein-based NPs encapsulated or conjugated with NIR dyes is highly promising but still in its infancy. The current review aims to provide an up-to-date overview on the biocompatibility, specific targeting and versatility offered by protein-based NPs loaded with different classes of NIR dyes as next-generation fluorescent agents. Moreover, this study brings to light the newest and most relevant advances involving the state-of-the-art NIR fluorescent agents for the real-time interventional NIR fluorescence imaging of cancer in clinical trials.

Abstract
Preparation of near-infrared (NIR) emissive fluorophore for imaging-guided PDT (photodynamic therapy) has attracted enormous attention. Hence, NIR photosensitizers of two-photon (TP) fluorescent imaging and photodynamic therapy are highly desirable. In this contribution, a novel D-π-A structured NIR photosensitizer (TTRE) is synthesized. TTRE demonstrates near-infrared (NIR) emission, good biocompatibility, and superior photostability, which can act as TP fluorescent agent for clear visualization of cells and vascular in tissue with deep-tissue penetration. The PDT efficacy of TTRE as photosensitizer is exploited in vitro and in vivo. All these results confirm that TTRE would serve as potential platform for TP fluorescence imaging and imaging-guided photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Luminescent biosensing in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) region, which has weak tissue scattering and low autofluorescence, draws extensive attention owing to its deep tissue penetration, good spatial resolution and high signal-to-background ratio. As a new generation of NIR-II probes, lanthanide (Ln3+)-containing nanoprobes exhibit several superior properties. With the rapid development of Ln3+-containing NIR-II nanoprobes, many significant advances have been accomplished in their optical properties tuning and surface functional modification for further bioapplications. Rather than being exhaustive, this review aims to survey the recent advances in the design strategies of inorganic Ln3+-containing NIR-II luminescent nanoprobes by highlighting their optical performance optimization and surface modification approaches. Moreover, challenges and opportunities for this kind of novel NIR-II nanoprobes are envisioned.

Abstract
Development of real-time non-invasive imaging probes to assess infiltration and activation of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) is critical to predict the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy, which however remains challenging. Reported here is an activatable semiconducting polymer nanoprobe (SPNP) for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging of a biomarker (granzyme B) associated with activation of CTLs. SPNP comprises a semiconducting polymer (SP) conjugated with a granzyme B cleavable and dye-labeled peptide as the side chain, both of which emit NIRF and PA signals. After systemic administration, SPNP passively targets the tumor and in situ reacts with granzyme B to release the dye-labeled peptide, leading to decreased NIRF and PA signals from the dye but unchanged signals from the polymer. Such ratiometric NIRF and PA signals of SPNP correlate well with the expression level of granzyme B and intratumoral population of CTLs. Thus, this study not only presents the first PA probes for in vivo imaging of immune activation but also provides a molecular design strategy that can be generalized for molecular imaging of other immune-related biomarkers.

Abstract
Hepatectomy is a main therapeutic strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which requires removal of primary and disseminated tumors and maximum preservation of normal liver tissue. However, in a clinical operation, it is difficult to recognize the tumor tissue and its boundary with the naked eye and palpation, which often leads to insufficient or excessive resection. Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, a non-invasive, real-time, low-cost, and highly sensitive imaging technique has been extensively studied in surgical navigation. With the development of fluorescence imaging system and fluorescent probe, intraoperative tumor detection and margin definition can be achieved, making the operation more accurate. Advances in fluorescence imaging of HCC in the NIR region have focused on the traditional first NIR window (NIR-I, 700–900 nm), and have recently been extended to the second NIR window (NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm). Compared with NIR-I imaging, fluorescence imaging in the NIR-II exhibits great advantages, including higher spatial resolution, deeper penetration depth, and lower optical absorption and scattering from biological substrates with minimal tissue autofluorescence. There is no doubt that developing novel NIRF probes for in vivo imaging of HCC has high significance and direct impact on the field of liver surgery. In this article, the development of various NIRF probes for fluorescence image guided HCC hepatectomy is reviewed, and current challenges and potential opportunities of these imaging probes are discussed.
