Abstract
Near-infrared II (NIR-II) photoacoustic (PA)/photothermal imaging-guided tumor therapy holds great promise in precision medicine for cancer treatment. This work reports on the synthesis and application of an organic small molecule nanoagent that has exceptional PA and photothermal properties in the near-infrared region. BCy-TPE was constructed by linking an NIR-II absorbing cyanine dye BCy-Cl with a twisted tetraphenylethene unit. The synthesized BCy-TPE exhibited an intense absorption peak at 1032 nm. After encapsulation into water-dispersible nanoparticles (NPs), BCy-TPE NPs exhibited two absorption peaks at 880 and 1046 nm. Notably, under 1064 nm laser excitation, BCy-TPE NPs deliver a remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency of 92%, together with superior biocompatibility, photostability, and PA/photothermal imaging capability. Moreover, after intravenous administration of BCy-TPE NPs into 4T1 tumor-bearing mice and treatment with safe-intensity (1.0 W cm-2 and 1064 nm) laser irradiation, tumor temperature increased rapidly to 52 °C within 1 min and tumors are completely ablated after a single photothermal therapy treatment. Overall, this work offers a novel strategy to develop superb NIR-II photothermal agents for PA/photothermal imaging-guided highly efficient therapy in cancer.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a serious health issue due to its low early diagnosis rate, resistance to chemotherapy, and poor five-year survival rate. Therefore, it is crucial to explore novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches tailored to the characteristics of HCC. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a phenomenon where the luminescence of certain molecules, typically non-luminescent or weakly luminescent in solution, is significantly enhanced upon aggregation. AIE has been extensively applied in bioimaging, biosensors, and therapy. Fluorophore materials based on AIE (AIEgens) have a wide range of application scenarios and potential for clinical translation. This review focuses on recent advances in AIE-based strategies for diagnosing and treating HCC. First, the specific functional mechanism of AIE is described. Next, we summarize recent progress in the application of AIE for multimodal imaging, biosensor detection, and phototherapy. Finally, prospects and challenges for the AIE-based application in the diagnosis and therapy of HCC are discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysregulation plays a significant role in the carcinogenesis. On the other hand, its destabilization strongly represses the viability and metastatic potential of cancer cells. Photodynamic and photothermal therapies (PDT and PTT) target mitochondria effectively, providing innovative and non-invasive anticancer therapeutic modalities. Cyanine dyes, with strong mitochondrial selectivity, show significant potential in enhancing PDT and PTT. The potential and limitations of cyanine dyes for mitochondrial PDT and PTT are discussed, along with their applications in combination therapies, theranostic techniques, and optimal delivery systems. Additionally, novel approaches for sonodynamic therapy using photoactive cyanine dyes are presented, highlighting advances in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) phototherapies offer noninvasive, cost-effective solutions for treating tumors and microbial infections. However, organic NIR dyes commonly used suffer from solubility and stability issues requiring frequent dosing. We address this challenge by exploring the bacteriophage-mediated enhancement of NIR dye properties. Upon encapsulation within phage nanosomes, IR780 and Indocyanine green (ICG), with similar optical properties but distinct water solubility and exhibit enhanced UV-vis absorbance and photothermal transduction efficacy compared to liposomes. Experimental characterization corroborated with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations imprints the nanoscale structure, solubility, dynamics, and binding of these NIR dye molecules to the membrane and protein molecules present in Phage capsid. These NIR dye-loaded phage nanosomes, coencapsulated with mitoxantrone, demonstrate enhanced anticancer activity, and when combined with amphotericin B, these dye molecules exhibit superior photothermal effects against fungal infections. Our findings present a simple and efficient approach for tuning the photothermal performance of existing NIR dyes through a rational design for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) heptamethine cyanine (HCy) dyes are promising photothermal transducers for image-guided cancer treatment owing to their prominent photophysical properties and high photothermal conversion ability. However, HCy photothermal transducers usually have poor photostability due to degradation induced by the self-generated reactive oxygen species. Herein, a novel mitochondria-targeting dimeric HCy dye, named dimeric oBHCy, is rationally designed, exhibiting strong near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence emission, high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), and excellent photostability. The large π-conjugation and drastic intramolecular motion of the diphenol rotor in the dimeric oBHCy enhance the nonradiative energy dissipation and suppress the intersystem crossing process, thereby achieving a high PCE (49.2%) and improved photostability. Impressively, dimeric oBHCy can precisely target mitochondria and induce mitochondrial damage upon NIR light irradiation. Under the guidance of in vivo NIR-II fluorescence imaging, efficient NIR light-activated photothermal therapy of 4T1 breast tumors is accomplished with a tumor inhibitory rate of 96% following a single injection of the dimeric oBHCy. This work offers an innovative strategy for designing cyanine photothermal transducers with integrated NIR-II fluorescence and photothermal properties for efficient cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents an emerging noninvasive treatment technique for cancers and various nonmalignant diseases, including infections. During the process of PDT, the physical and chemical properties of photosensitizers (PSs) critically determine the effectiveness of PDT. Traditional PSs have made great progress in clinical applications. One of the challenges is that traditional PSs suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) due to their discotic structures. Recently, aggregation-induced emission PSs (AIE-PSs) with a twisted propeller-shaped conformation have been widely concerned because of high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency, strong fluorescence efficiency, and resistance to photobleaching. However, AIE-PSs also have some disadvantages, such as short absorption wavelengths and insufficient molar absorption coefficient. When the advantages and disadvantages of AIE-PSs and ACQ-PSs are complementary, combining ACQ-PSs and AIE-PSs is a "win-to-win" strategy. As far as we know, the conversion of traditional representative ACQ-PSs to AIE-PSs for phototheranostics has not been reviewed. In the review, we summarize the recent progress on the ACQ-to-AIE transformation of PSs and the strategies to achieve desirable theranostic applications. The review would be helpful to design more efficient ACQ-AIE-PSs in the future and to accelerate the development and clinical application of PDT.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by primary and second brain injury can induce neuron death and inhibit neurological functional recovery after ICH. Therefore, exploring an effective way to noninvasively target hemorrhage sites to scavenge ROS is urgently needed. Inspired by the biological function of platelets to target injury vessel and repair injury blood vessels, platelet-membrane-modified polydopamine (Menp@PLT) nanoparticles are developed with targeting to hemorrhage sites of ICH. Results demonstrate that Menp@PLT nanoparticles can effectively achieve targeting to the location of intracranial hematoma. Furthermore, Menp@PLT with excellent anti-ROS properties can scavenge ROS and improve neuroinflammation microenvironment of ICH. In addition, Menp@PLT may play a role in decreasing hemorrhage volume by repairing injury blood vessels. Combining platelet membrane and anti-ROS nanoparticles for targeting brain hemorrhage sites provide a promising strategy for efficiently treating ICH.

Abstract
Phototherapy is considered a promising alternative to conventional tumor treatments due to its noninvasive modality and effective therapeutic effect. However, designing a photosensitizer with satisfactory therapeutic effect and high security remains a considerable challenge. Herein, a series of dimeric heptamethine cyanine photosensitizers with an aromatic diphenol linker at the meso position is developed to improve the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). Thanks to the extended conjugate system and high steric hindrance, the screened 26NA-NIR and 44BP-NIR exhibit high PCE (≈35%), bright near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability, and improved photostability. Furthermore, their outstanding performance on imaging-guided PDT-PTT synergistic therapy is demonstrated by in vivo and in vitro experiments. In conclusion, this study designs a series of dimeric heptamethine cyanine photosensitizers and presents two compounds for potential clinical applications. The strategy provides a new method to design NIR photosensitizers for imaging-guided cancer treatment.

Abstract
Recently, nanoformulations have been widely applied in the delivery of organic photothermal agents (OPTAs) for cancer therapy to prolong blood circulation or improve tumor-targeting capacity. However, the systematic evaluations of their effects on the photothermal behavior of OPTAs are limited, especially for different types of nanoparticle systems. Herein, we prepared two kinds of nanoparticles (BSA and PEG nanoparticles (NPs)) to load an OPTA, a cyanine photosensitizer (IR780-O-TPE), and investigated their photothermal response, organelle targeting, and in vivo therapeutic efficacy. Due to different assembly forms, the two NPs showed distinct morphological changes after exposure to laser or hyperthermia. Under laser irradiation at 808 nm, BSA NPs could release IR780-O-TPE more efficiently than PEG NPs. We speculate that this phenomenon is probably caused by dual-responsive release of IR780-O-TPE from BSA NPs against light and hyperthermia. Moreover, IR780-O-TPE/BSA NPs were highly mitochondria-targeting and therefore displayed significant inhibition of cell viability. In contrast, IR780-O-TPE/PEG NPs were "shell-core" nanostructures and more stable under laser stimulation. As a consequence, the mitochondria-targeting and anticancer photothermal therapy by IR780-O-TPE/PEG NPs was less obvious. This study revealed the significance of nanocarrier design for OPTA delivery and demonstrated that BSA NPs could release IR780-O-TPE more effectively for efficient photothermal therapy. We also believe that the dual-responsive release of OPTAs from NPs can provide an effective strategy to promote anticancer photothermal treatment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention in the field of anticancer treatment. However, PDT has to face challenges, such as aggregation caused by quenching of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and short 1O2 lifetime, which lead to unsatisfactory therapeutic effect. Aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgens)-based photosensitizers (PSs) showed enhanced ROS generation upon aggregation, which showed great potential for hypoxic tumor treatment with enhanced PDT effect. In this review, we summarized the design strategies and applications of AIEgen-based PSs with improved PDT efficacy since 2019. Firstly, we introduce the research background and some basic knowledge in the related field. Secondly, the recent approaches of AIEgen-based PSs for enhanced PDT are summarized in two categories: (1) organelle-targeting PSs that could cause direct damage to organelles to enhance PDT effects, and (2) PSs with tumor-targeting abilities to selectively suppress tumor growth and reduce side effects. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities are discussed. We hope this review can offer new insights and inspirations for the development of AIEgen-based PSs for better PDT effect.

Abstract
In this study, a new cyanine-based photosensitizer Cy-N-Rh was developed for photodynamic therapy. Based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism, utilizing the absorption of the donor rhodamine (Rh), the acceptor heptamethine cyanine unit (Cy) was indirectly excited to produce singlet oxygen (1O2). The efficiency of energy transfer from the donor Rh to the acceptor Cy was 78.5%. Meanwhile, the singlet oxygen yield of Cy-N-Rh (ΦΔ = 12.00%) was much higher than that of the acceptor Cy (ΦΔ = 4.35%) without FRET. Moreover, the dual cation gave Cy-N-Rh with excellent mitochondria-targeting ability with Pearson's correlation coefficients of 0.90 and 0.91, respectively. In the MTT test, Cy-N-Rh had low dark cytotoxicity with cell survival rate above 90% and high photo cytotoxicity with cell survival rate below 40%. The cell apoptosis assay also demonstrated the role of the photosensitizer Cy-N-R visually. More importantly, Cy-N-Rh fulfilled two-photon excitation fluorescence imaging under the 800 nm femtosecond laser. All results indicate that this design strategy provides a new method for the development of higher-level cyanine photosensitizers.

Abstract
Photothermal agents (PTAs) based on organic small-molecule dyes emerge as promising theranostic strategy in imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). However, hydrophobicity, photodegradation, and low signal-to-noise ratio impede their transformation from bench to bedside. In this study, a novel supramolecular PTT formulation by a stimuli-responsive macrocyclic host is prepared to overcome these obstacles of organic small-molecule PTAs. Methods: Sulfonated azocalix[4]arene (SAC4A) was synthesized as a hypoxia-responsive macrocyclic host. Taking IR780 as an example, the supramolecular nanoformulation IR780@SAC4A was constructed by grinding method, and its solubility, photostability, and photothermal conversion were evaluated. The hypoxia tumor-selective imaging and supramolecular PTT of IR780@SAC4A were further evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Results: IR780@SAC4A is capable of enhancing the solubility, photostability, and photothermal conversion of IR780 significantly, which achieve this supramolecular formulation with good imaging-guided PTT efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the supramolecular PTT strategy is a promising cancer theranostic method. Moreover, this supramolecular approach is applicative to construct kinds of supramolecular PTAs, opening a general avenue for extending smart PTT formulations.

Abstract
In recent years, cancer phototherapy has been extensively studied as noninvasive cancer treatment. To present efficient recognition toward cancer cells, most photosensitizers (PSs) are required to couple with tumor-targeted ligands. Interestingly, the heptamethine cyanine IR780 displays an intrinsic tumor-targeted feature even without modification. However, the photothermal efficacy and photostability of IR780 are not sufficient enough for clinical use. Herein, we involve a twisted structure of tetraphenylethene (TPE) between two molecules of IR780 to improve the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). The obtained molecule T780T shows strong near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and improved PCE (38.5%) in the dispersed state. Also, the photothermal stability and ROS generation capability of T780T at the NIR range (808 nm) are both promoted. In the aqueous phase, the T780T was formulated into uniform nanoaggregates (∼200 nm) with extremely low fluorescence and PTT response, which would reduce in vivo imaging background and side effect of PTT response in normal tissues. After intravenous injection into tumor-bearing mice, the T780T nanoaggregates display high tumor accumulation and thus remarkably inhibit the tumor growth. Moreover, the enhanced photostability of the T780T allows for twice irradiation after one injection and leads to more significant tumor inhibition. In summary, our study presents a tumor-targeted small-molecule PS for efficient cancer therapy and brings a new design of heptamethine cyanine PS for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
IR780 is a near-infrared fluorescent dye, which can be applied as a photosensitizer in photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) therapies and as a biodistribution tracer in imaging techniques. We investigated the growth and migration inhibition and mechanism of death of breast tumor cells, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, exposed to polymeric nanocapsules (NC) comprising IR780 covalently linked to the biodegradable polymer PLA (IR-PLA) and IR780 physically encapsulated (IR780-NC) in vitro. Both types of NC had mean diameters around 120 nm and zeta potentials around -40 mV. IR-PLA-NC was less cytotoxic than IR780 NC to a non-tumorigenic mammary epithelial cell line, MCF-10A, which is an important aspect of selectivity. Free-IR780 was more cytotoxic than IR-PLA-NC for MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells after illumination with a 808 nm laser. IR-PLA NC was effective to inhibit colony formation (50%) and migration (30-40%) for both cancer cell lines. MDA-MB-231 cells were less sensitive to all IR780 formulations compared to MCF-7 cells. Cell uptake was higher with IR-PLA-NC than with IR780-NC and free-IR780 in both cancer cell lines (p < 0.05). NC uptake was higher in MCF-7 than in MDA-MB-231 cells. IR-PLA-NC induced a higher percentage of apoptosis upon illumination in MDA-MB-231 than in MCF-7 cells. The necrosis mechanism of death predominated in treatments with free-IR780 and with encapsulated IR780 NC, suggestive of damages at the plasma membrane. IR780 conjugated with PLA increased the apoptotic pathway and demonstrated potential as a multifunctional theranostic agent for breast cancer treatment with increased cellular uptake, photodynamic activity and more reliable tracking in cell-image studies.

Abstract
With rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant microbes, it is imperative to seek alternative means for infection control. Optical waveguides are an auspicious delivery method for precise administration of phototherapy. Studies have shown that phototherapy is promising in fighting against a myriad of infectious pathogens (i.e. viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa) including biofilm-forming species and drug-resistant strains while evading treatment resistance. When administered via optical waveguides, phototherapy can treat both superficial and deep-tissue infections while minimizing off-site effects that afflict conventional phototherapy and pharmacotherapy. Despite great therapeutic potential, exact mechanisms, materials, and fabrication designs to optimize this promising treatment option are underexplored. This review outlines principles and applications of phototherapy and optical waveguides for infection control.

Abstract
Although the combination of photothermal/chemodynamic therapy (PTT/CDT) based on various inorganic nanomaterials has promising anticancer effects, poor biocompatibility and biodegradability of inorganic nanoplatforms pose obstacles to their use in clinic. On the contrary, nanoscale metal-organic particles are considered to be a promising platform because of their biocompatibility and efficient metabolism. Herein, HA@Cy-Cu NPs are prepared using the coordination-driven assembly of cyanine dyes with Cu2+ ions. HA@Cy-Cu NPs demonstrate excellent synergistic PTT/CDT, a high photothermal conversion efficiency (43%), and enhanced photostability. Moreover, Cu2+ in the NPs can be reduced to Cu+ by glutathione (GSH) and can transform H2 O2 to •OH, which down-regulates intracellular GSH levels and up-regulates significant oxidative damage. Therefore, promising in vivo tumor ablation is observed at a low dose of HA@Cy-Cu, suggesting that the combination of PTT/CDT greatly improved the antitumor performance. HA@Cy-Cu can further improve organic nano-systems for anti-tumor therapy by integrating PTT and CDT.

Abstract
A new type of conjugated polybenzimidazole (CPBI) was synthesized through a simple polycondensation reaction without metal catalysis, and N-alkylation modification was carried out to solve the problems of solubility and fluorescence properties. A series of nano-microsphere polymers CPBIn with large conjugation, good solubility, and strong fluorescence has been successfully used as “turn-off” fluorescent probes for the first time. The results show that, under suitable N-alkylation conditions, the obtained CPBIn can be used as a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probe for the detection of Cu2+ and Zn2+ at the same time, and their detection limits are both nM levels. In addition, CPBI2 can be designed as an ultra-sensitive IMPLICATION logic gate at the molecular level, cyclically detecting Cu2+. With the test paper containing CPBI2, easy and quick on-site detection can be achieved. This research provides a new idea for the brief synthesis of multifunctional materials.

Abstract
At present, the early diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC has become an international research hotspot. However, how to realize the organic combination of highly sensitive and high-resolution tumor imaging diagnosis and effective treatment, and to provide effective information for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is still a major problem in the integration of cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this study, based on the Crizotinib has a good targeted inhibitory effect on ALK positive tumor cells, the near-infrared targeted fluorescent dye IR-780 was covalently bound with the drug molecule Crizotinib, thus the near-infrared fluorescent probe IR-780-Crizotinib targeting ALK positive tumor cells was synthesized. The probe structure is confirmed by NMR and MS. The optical properties of the fluorescent probe and the imaging process in ALK positive tumor-bearing mice were analyzed using ultraviolet spectrophotometer, near-infrared fluorescence spectrometer, and near-infrared fluorescence imaging system. The results show that the probe had better photoactivity. In vivo imaging shows that the probe maintained the biological activity of Crizotinib, effectively targeting the tumor site involved with clear imaging, and ultimately excreted from the body. It was confirmed that the probe could be used for the tracking, positioning and targeted therapy of nude mice with ALK positive tumors in vivo, thus exploring a new approach for the clinical application of near-infrared fluorescent probe to detect ALK positive tumors in the future.

Abstract
Activatable contrast agents are of ongoing research interest because they offer low background and high specificity to the imaging target. Engineered sensitivity to protease activity is particularly desirable because proteases are critical biomarkers in cancer, infectious disease, inflammatory disorders, and so forth. Herein, we developed and characterized a set of peptide-linked cyanine conjugates for dual-modal detection of protease activity via photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence imaging. The peptide-dye conjugates were designed to undergo contact quenching via intramolecular dimerization and contained n dyes (n = 2, 3, or 4) with n - 1 cleavable peptide substrates. The absorption peaks of the conjugates were blue-shifted 50 nm relative to the free dye and had quenched fluorescence. This effect was sensitive to solvent polarity and could be reversed by solvent switching from water to dimethyl sulfoxide. Employing trypsin as a model protease, we observed a 2.5-fold recovery of the peak absorbance, 330-4600-fold fluorescent enhancement, and picomolar detection limits following proteolysis. The dimer probe was further characterized for PA activation. Proteolysis released single dye-peptide fragments that produced a 5-fold PA enhancement through the increased absorption at 680 nm with nanomolar sensitivity to trypsin. The peptide substrate could also be tuned for protease selectivity; as a proof-of-concept, we detected the main protease (Mpro) associated with the viral replication in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Last, the activated probe was imaged subcutaneously in mice and signal was linearly correlated to the cleaved probe. Overall, these results demonstrate a tunable scaffold for the PA molecular imaging of protease activity with potential value in areas such as disease monitoring, tumor imaging, intraoperative imaging, in vitro diagnostics, and point-of-care sensing.

Abstract
Phototherapies, in the form of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), are very promising treatment modalities for cancer since they provide locality and turn-on mechanism for toxicity, both of which are critical in reducing off-site toxicity. Irradiation of photosensitive agents demonstrated successful therapeutic outcomes; however, each approach has its limitations and needs to be improved for clinical success. The combination of PTT and PDT may work in a synergistic way to overcome the limitations of each method and indeed improve the treatment efficacy. The development of single photosensitive agents capable of inducing both PDT and PTT is, therefore, extremely advantageous and highly desired. Cyanine dyes are shown to have such potential, hence have been very popular in the recent years. Luminescence of cyanine dyes renders them as phototheranostic molecules, reporting the localization of the photosensitive agent prior to irradiation to induce phototoxicity, hence allowing image-guided phototherapy. In this review, we mainly focus on the cyanine dye-based phototherapy of different cancer cells, concentrating on the advancements achieved in the last ten years.

Abstract
Integration of multiple therapies into one nanoplatform holds great promise to overcome the shortcomings of traditional single-modal therapy and achieve favorable antitumor efficacy. Herein, we constructed a dual receptor-targeting nanomicelle system with GSH-responsive drug release for precise fluorescence imaging and superior chemo-phototherapy of cancer. The synthetic amphiphilic hyaluronic acid derivative (FHSV) could self-assemble into nanomicelles in aqueous media. Then, paclitaxel (PTX) and photosensitizer IR780 iodide (IR780) were co-loaded into the micelles by a simple dialysis method. The resulting IR780/PTX/FHSV micelles with a particle size of 150.2 ± 6.9 nm exhibited excellent stability, GSH-responsive drug release and good photothermal/photodynamic efficacy. Once accumulated at the tumor sites, IR780/PTX/FHSV micelles efficiently entered tumor cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis and then rapidly release PTX and IR780 under GSH-rich tumor microenvironment. Upon NIR laser irradiation, IR780 produced local hyperthermia and sufficient reactive oxygen species to promote tumor cells apoptosis and necrosis. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments consistently demonstrated that compared with single chemotherapy and phototherapy, the chemo-phototherapy could more efficiently kill tumor cells by synergistic antitumor effect. Therefore, our study provides a novel and efficient approach for multimodal treatment of malignant tumor.

Abstract
Two highly emissive carbazole-containing thiazole-fused oxadiazaborinines were designed and synthesized. These N,O-chelated organoboron dyes displayed large Stokes shifts and remarkable solvatofluorochromism in solutions, as well as good thermal stability and comparatively high photoluminescence quantum yields (up to 34%) in the solid state. The presence of a carbazole donor unit, linked with the oxadiazaborinine acceptor via a phenyl linker, restricted intramolecular rotation, leading to enhanced aggregation-induced emission properties of the compounds: in THF/water mixtures with a large water percentage, they demonstrated the formation of emissive nanoaggregates with an average size of 79 and 89 nm for complexes 2 and 3, respectively. The introduction of bulky tert-butyl groups attached to the carbazole moiety induced significant mechanofluorochromic properties of the compounds.
