Abstract
Tissue analysis, which is essential to histology and is considered the benchmark for the diagnosis and prognosis of many illnesses, including cancer, is significant. During surgery, the surgical margin of the tumor is assessed using the labor-intensive, challenging, and commonly subjective technique known as frozen section histopathology. In the biopsy section, large numbers of molecules can now be visualized at once (ion images) following recent developments in [MSI] mass spectrometry imaging under atmospheric conditions. This is vastly superior to and different from the single optical tissue image processing used in traditional histopathology. This review article will focus on the advancement of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging [DESI-MSI] technique, which is label-free and requires little to no sample preparation. Since the proportion of molecular species in normal and abnormal tissues is different, DESI-MSI can capture ion images of the distributions of lipids and metabolites on biopsy sections, which can provide rich diagnostic information. This is not a systematic review but a summary of well-known, cutting-edge and recent DESI-MSI applications in cancer research between 2018 and 2023.

Abstract
Peptides are increasingly present in all branches of medicine as innovative drugs, imaging agents, theragnostic, and constituent moieties of other sophisticated drugs such as peptide-drug conjugates. Due to new developments in chemical synthesis strategies, computational biology, recombinant technology, and chemical biology, peptide drug development has made a great progress in the last decade. Numerous natural peptides and peptide mimics have been obtained and studied, covering multiple therapeutic areas. Even though peptides have been investigated across the wide therapeutic spectrum, oncology, metabolism, and endocrinology are the most frequent medical indications of them. This review summarizes the current use of and the emerging new opportunities of peptides for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

Abstract
Systems engineering captures the desires and needs of the customer to conceptualize a system from the overall goal down to the small details prior to any physical development. While many systems projects tend to be large and complicated (i.e., cloud-based infrastructure, long-term space travel shuttles, missile defense systems), systems engineering can also be applied to smaller, complex systems. Here, the system of interest is the endoscope, a standard biomedical screening device used in laparoscopic surgery, screening of upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts, and inspection of the upper airway. Often, endoscopic inspection is used to identify pre-cancerous and cancerous tissues, and hence, a requirement for endoscopic systems is the ability to provide images with high contrast between areas of normal tissue and neoplasia (early-stage abnormal tissue growth). For this manuscript, the endoscope was reviewed for all the technological advancements thus far to theorize what the next version of the system could be in order to provide improved detection capabilities. Endoscopic technology was decomposed into categories, using systems architecture and systems thinking, to visualize the improvements throughout the system's lifetime from the original to current state-of-the-art. Results from this review were used to identify trends in subsystems and components to estimate the theoretical performance maxima for different subsystems as well as areas for further development. The subsystem analysis indicated that future endoscope systems will focus on more complex imaging and higher computational requirements that will provide improved contrast in order to have higher accuracy in optical diagnoses of early, abnormal tissue growth.

Abstract
Due to the low autofluorescence and deep-photo penetration, the second near-infrared region fluorescence imaging technology (NIR-II, 1000-2000 nm) has been widely utilized in basic scientific research and preclinical practice throughout the past decade. The most attractive candidates for clinical translation are organic NIR-II fluorophores with a small-molecule framework, owing to their low toxicity, high synthetic repeatability, and simplicity of chemical modification. In order to enhance the translation of small molecule applications in NIR-II bioimaging, NIR-II fluorescence imaging technology has evolved from its usage in cells to the diagnosis of diseases in large animals and even humans. Although several examples of NIR-II fluorescence imaging have been used in preclinical studies, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed before they can finally be used in clinical settings. In this paper, we reviewed the evolution of the chemical structures and photophysical properties of small-molecule fluorophores, with an emphasis on their biomedical applications ranging from small animals to humans. We also explored the potential of small-molecule fluorophores.

Abstract
Nowadays, cancer poses a significant hazard to humans. Limitations in early diagnosis techniques not only result in a waste of healthcare resources but can even lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment, consequently reducing cure rates. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an imaging probe that can provide diagnostic information precisely and rapidly. Here, we used a simple hydrothermal method to design a multimodal imaging probe based on the excellent properties of rare-earth ions. Calcium fluoride co-doped with ytterbium, gadolinium, and neodymium (CaF2:Y,Gd,Nd) nanoparticles (NPs) is highly crystalline, homogeneous in morphology, and displays a high biosafety profile. In addition, in vitro and ex vivo experiments explored the multimodal imaging capability of CaF2:Y,Gd,Nd and demonstrated the efficient performance of CaF2:Y,Gd,Nd during NIR-II fluorescence/photoacoustic/magnetic resonance imaging. Collectively, our novel diagnosis nanoparticle will generate new ideas for the development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review aims to summarize the current developments of fluorescence and chemi/bioluminescence imaging based on the molecular fluorophores for in vivo imaging in the second near-infrared window. METHODS AND RESULTS By investigating most of the relevant references on the web of science and some journals, this review firstly begins with an overview of the background of fluorescence and chemi/bioluminescence imaging. Secondly, the chemical and optical properties of NIR-II dyes are discussed, such as water solubility, chemostability and photo-stability, and brightness. Thirdly, the bioimaging based on NIR-II fluorescence emission is outlined, including the in vivo imaging of polymethine dyes, donor - acceptor - donor (D - A - D) chromophores, and lanthanide complexes. Fourthly, we demonstrate the chemi/bioluminescence in vivo imaging in the second near-infrared window. Fifthly, the clinical application and translation of near-infrared fluorescence imaging are presented. Finally, the current challenges, feasible strategies and potential prospects of the fluorophores and in vivo bioimaging are discussed. CONCLUSIONS Based on the above literature research on the applications of molecular fluorescent and chemi/bioluminescent probes in the second near-infrared window in recent years, this review weighs the advantages and disadvantages of fluorescence and chemi/bioluminescence imaging, and NIR-II fluorophores based on polymethine dyes, D - A - D chromophores, and lanthanide complexes. Besides, this review also provides a very important guidance for expanding the imaging applications of molecular fluorophores in the second near-infrared window.

Abstract
Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) is a stem cell marker in gastric cancer. In this study, we aimed to produce the LGR5-targeting peptide probe for the use of molecular imaging for gastric cancer. We used phage display libraries to produce a LGR5-specific peptide probe. This peptide was validated for targeting gastric cancer with in vitro and in vivo studies. This peptide was tagged with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and cyanine 5.5 (Cy5.5). We used two normal and three gastric cancer cell lines. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis were used to validate the target specificity of the peptide. After three rounds of bio-panning, we found a novel 7-mer peptides, IPQILSI (IPQ∗). FITC-conjugated IPQ∗ showed 2 to 10 times higher fluorescence in gastric cancer cells vs. control cells in ICC. This discrimination was consistently observed using Cy5.5-conjugated IPQ∗ in ICC. FACS analysis showed right shift of peak point in gastric cancers compared to the control cells. In the peritoneal metastasis animal model, we could find Cy5.5-conjugated IPQ∗ accumulated specifically to gastric tumors. In conclusion, IPQ∗ peptide showed a specific probe for gastric cancer diagnosis. This probe can be applied to theragnosis for gastric cancer diagnosis including peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rising steadily in incidence, and more effective methods are needed for early detection and image-guided surgery. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a cell surface biomarker that is overexpressed in early-stage cancer but not in cirrhosis. An IRDye800-labeled 12-mer amino acid sequence was identified, and specific binding to GPC3 was validated in vitro and in orthotopically implanted HCC tumors in vivo. Over 4-fold greater binding affinity and 2-fold faster kinetics were measured by comparison with previous GPC3 peptides. Photoacoustic images showed peak tumor uptake at 1.5 h post-injection and clearance within ∼24 h. Laparoscopic and whole-body fluorescence images showed strong intensity from tumor versus adjacent liver with about a 2-fold increase. Immunofluorescence staining of human liver specimens demonstrated specific binding to HCC versus cirrhosis with 79% sensitivity and 79% specificity, and normal liver with 81% sensitivity and 84% specificity. The near-infrared peptide is promising for early HCC detection in clinical trials.

Abstract
Modern medicine has been waging a war on cancer for nearly a century with no tangible end in sight. Cancer treatments have significantly progressed, but the need to increase specificity and decrease systemic toxicities remains. Early diagnosis holds a key to improving prognostic outlook and patient quality of life, and diagnostic tools are on the cusp of a technological revolution. Nanotechnology has steadily expanded into the reaches of cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, diagnostics, and imaging, demonstrating the capacity to augment each and advance patient care. Nanomaterials provide an abundance of versatility, functionality, and applications to engineer specifically targeted cancer medicine, accurate early-detection devices, robust imaging modalities, and enhanced radiotherapy adjuvants. This review provides insights into the current clinical and pre-clinical nanotechnological applications for cancer drug therapy, diagnostics, imaging, and radiation therapy.

Abstract
Recently, anionic charges were found to negatively influence the in vitro gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) binding parameters of dually radioisotope and fluorescent dye labeled GRPR-specific peptide dimers. From this, the question arose if this adverse impact on in vitro GRP receptor affinities could be mitigated by a higher valency of peptide multimerization. For this purpose, we designed two different hybrid multimodal imaging units (MIUs), comprising either one or two click chemistry-compatible functional groups and reacted them with PESIN (PEG3-BBN7-14, PEG = polyethylene glycol) dimers to obtain a dually labeled peptide homodimer or homotetramer. Using this approach, other dually labeled peptide monomers, dimers, and tetramers can also be obtained, and the chelator and fluorescent dye can be adapted to specific requirements. The MIUs, as well as their peptidic conjugates, were evaluated in terms of their photophysical properties, radiolabeling efficiency with 68Ga and 64Cu, hydrophilicity, and achievable GRP receptor affinities. Here, the hydrophilicity and the GRP receptor binding affinities were found to be especially strongly influenced by the number of negative charges and peptide copies, showing logD (1-octanol-water-distribution coefficient) and IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) values of -2.2 ± 0.1 and 59.1 ± 1.5 nM for the homodimer, and -1.9 ± 0.1 and 99.8 ± 3.2 nM for the homotetramer, respectively. From the obtained data, it can be concluded that the adverse influence of negatively charged building blocks on the in vitro GRP receptor binding properties of dually labeled PESIN multimers can, at least partly, be compensated for by the number of introduced peptide binding motives and the used molecular design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fluorescence-guided surgery may improve completeness of resection in transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing disease (CD) by enabling visualization of residual tumor tissue at the margins. In this review we discuss somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) as targets for fluorescence-guided surgery and overview existing SSTR-specific imaging agents. We also compare SSTR expression in normal pituitary and corticotrophinoma tissues from human and canine CD patients to assess canines as a translational model for CD. METHODS A PubMed literature search was conducted for publications containing the terms canine, somatostatin receptor, Cushing's disease, and corticotroph adenoma. SSTR expression data from each study was documented as the presence or absence of expression or, when possible, the number of tumors expressing a given SSTR subtype within a group of tumors being studied. Studies that used reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to quantify SSTR expression were selected for additional comparative analysis. RESULTS SSTR5 is strongly expressed in human corticotroph adenomas and weakly expressed in surrounding pituitary parenchyma, a pattern not conclusively observed in canine patients. SSTR2 mRNA expression is similar in human normal pituitary and corticotrophinoma cells but may be significantly higher in canine normal pituitary tissue than in corticotroph tumoral tissue. Limited data were available on SSTR subtypes 1, 3, and 4. CONCLUSIONS Further studies must fill the knowledge gaps related to species-specific SSTR expression, so using canine CD as a translational model may be premature. We do conclude that the expression profile of SSTR5 (i.e., high local expression in pituitary adenomas relative to normal surrounding tissues) makes SSTR5 a promising molecular target for FGS.

Abstract
The tumour microenvironment (TME) strongly influences tumorigenesis and metastasis. Two of the most characterized properties of the TME are acidosis and hypoxia, both of which are considered hallmarks of tumours as well as critical factors in response to anticancer treatments. Currently, various imaging approaches exist to measure acidosis and hypoxia in the TME, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography and optical imaging. In this review, we will focus on the latest fluorescent-based methods for optical sensing of cell metabolism and MRI as diagnostic imaging tools applied both in vitro and in vivo. The primary emphasis will be on describing the current and future uses of systems that can measure intra- and extra-cellular pH and oxygen changes at high spatial and temporal resolution. In addition, the suitability of these approaches for mapping tumour heterogeneity, and assessing response or failure to therapeutics will also be covered.

Abstract
Near infrared (NIR) photodynamic activation is playing increasingly critical roles in cutting-edge anti-cancer nanomedicines, which include spatiotemporal control over induction of therapy, photodynamic priming, and phototriggered immunotherapy. Molecular targeted photonanomedicines (mt-PNMs) are tumor-specific nanoscale drug delivery systems, which capitalize on the unparalleled spatio-temporal precision of NIR photodynamic activation to augment the accuracy of tumor tissue treatment. mt-PNMs are emerging as a paradigm approach for the targeted treatment of solid tumors, yet remain highly complex and multifaceted. While ligand targeted nanomedicines in general suffer from interdependent challenges in biophysics, surface chemistry and nanotechnology, mt-PNMs provide distinct opportunities to synergistically potentiate the effects of ligand targeting. This review provides what we believe to be a much-need demarcation between the processes involved in tumor specificity (biomolecular recognition events) and tumor selectivity (preferential tumor accumulation) of ligand targeted nanomedicines, such as mt-PNMs, and elaborate on what NIR photodynamic activation has to offer. We discuss the interplay between both tumor specificity and tumor selectivity and the degree to which both may play central roles in cutting-edge NIR photoactivable nanotechnologies. A special emphasis is made on NIR photoactivable biomimetic nanotechnologies that capitalize on both specificity and selectivity phenomena to augment the safety and efficacy of photodynamic anti-tumor regimens.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of current progress in Pd nanoparticles supporting localized surface plasmon resonance and their applications. We begin by analyzing briefly the optical properties of Pd putting particular focus on outlining the origin of its size- and shape-dependent LSPR, high refractive index sensitivity, and high absorption contribution. The differences in the optical behavior with Au and Ag, the primary plasmonic materials, are highlighted. The main strategies to synthesize Pd nanoparticles, pure or hybrid, with well-defined optical properties are then reviewed. In this section, we include only those works that carry out the study of the optical properties of the nanoparticles. The applications of plasmonic Pd nanoparticles are also discussed in detail. This review is concluded with a section devoted to the future perspectives highlighting the most relevant challenges to be addressed to take Pd nanoparticles from the laboratory to real applications.

Abstract
2D silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) are promising materials for biomedicine but facile synthesis of SiNSs remains a challenge. Herein, by means of a sulfur-iodine co-assisted chemical vapor transport method, octahedron silicon (oct-Si) crystals with fully exposed {111} planes are prepared as precursors for efficient synthesis of SiNSs by facet-selective exfoliation. The 13 nm thick SiNSs have good biocompatibility and the sharp Raman scattering signal facilitates intracellular Raman imaging upon exposure to a near-infrared (NIR) laser. Furthermore, the SiNSs have excellent NIR photothermal characteristics such as a large extinction coefficient of 11.3 L g-1 cm-1 and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 21.4% at 1064 nm. In vitro experiments demonstrate superior NIR-II photothermal therapeutic effects in killing cancer cells. Comparing to conventional methods, the novel facet-selective cleavage strategy is more controllable and environmentally friendly boding well for the fabrication of non-van der Waals 2D materials. The multimodal photonic behavior also suggests large potential of the SiNSs pertaining to integrated multi-NIR biophotonic techniques using single nanomaterials.

Abstract
Aim Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality. However, specific biomarkers for its diagnosis or treatment are not established well. Methods We developed a colon-cancer specific peptide probe using phage display libraries. We validated the specificity of this probe to colon cancer cells with immunohistochemical staining and FACS analysis using one normal cell and five colon cancer cell lines. Results This peptide probe maintained binding affinity even after serum incubation. For therapeutic applications, this peptide probe was conjugated to hematoporphyrin, a photosensitizer, which showed a significantly enhanced cellular uptake and high photodynamic effect to kill tumor cells. As another application, we made a nanoparticle modified from the peptide probe. It efficiently delivered SN-38, an anticancer drug, into tumor cells, and its tumor-targeting ability was observed in vivo after intravenous injection to the same xenograft model. Conclusion The noble dodecapeptide probe can be a promising candidate for both colon tumor diagnosis and targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Ultrasound-switchable fluorescence (USF) is a novel imaging technique that provides high spatial resolution fluorescence images in centimeter-deep biological tissue. Recently, we successfully demonstrated the feasibility of in vivo USF imaging using a frequency-domain photomultiplier tube-based system. In this work, for the first time we carried out in vivo USF imaging via a camera-based USF imaging system. The system acquires a USF signal on a two-dimensional (2D) plane, which facilitates the image acquisition because the USF scanning area can be planned based on the 2D image and provides high USF photon collection efficiency. We demonstrated in vivo USF imaging in the mouse's glioblastoma tumor with multiple targets via local injection. In addition, we designed the USF contrast agents with different particle sizes (70 nm and 330 nm) so that they could bio-distribute to various organs (spleen, liver, and kidney) via intravenous (IV) injections. The results showed that the contrast agents retained stable USF properties in tumors and some organs (spleen and liver). We successfully achieved in vivo USF imaging of the mouse's spleen and liver via IV injections. The USF imaging results were compared with the images acquired from a commercial X-ray micro computed tomography (micro-CT) system.

Abstract
A precise imaging technique to evaluate osteogenesis, osteodifferentiation, and osseointegration following peri-implant surgery is in high clinical demand. Herein, we report the generation of two new, near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes for use in the molecular imaging of bone repair. The first probe aims to monitor the in vitro differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into osteoblasts. A NIR fluorochrome was conjugated to a cyclic peptide that binds to integrin α5β1, a factor that promotes osteogenesis in MSCs and therefore functioned as an osteoblast-specific marker. The second probe aims to monitor osteogenesis, and was generated by conjugating the drug pamidronate to a NIR fluorescent gold nanocluster. Pamidronate specifically binds to hydroxyapatite (HA), a mineral present in bone that is produced by osteoblasts, and therefore provides a functional marker for new bone formation. Our results show that both probes bind to their specific targets in vitro-differentiated osteoblasts, and not to undifferentiated MSCs, and emit NIR fluorescence for functional detection. This in vitro work demonstrates the ability of these probes to bind to active osteoblasts and their mineral deposits and highlight their potential utility as clinical tools for the imaging of the osseointegration process at the molecular level.

Abstract
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer remains poor. Intraoperative fluorescence imaging of tumors could improve staging and surgical resection, thereby improving prognosis. However, imaging pancreatic cancer with macromolecular delivery systems, is often hampered by nonspecific organ accumulation. Methods: We describe the rational development of hyaluronic acid (HA) conjugates that vary in molecular weight and are conjugated to near infrared fluorescent (NIRF) dyes that have differences in hydrophilicity, serum protein binding affinity, and clearance mechanism. We systematically investigated the roles of each of these properties on tumor accumulation, relative biodistribution, and the impact of intraoperative imaging of orthotopic, syngeneic pancreatic cancer. Results: Each HA-NIRF conjugate displayed intrapancreatic tumor enhancement. Regardless of HA molecular weight, Cy7.5 conjugation directed biodistribution to the liver, spleen, and bowels. Conjugation of IRDye800 to 5 and 20 kDa HA resulted in low liver and spleen signal while enhancing the tumor up to 14-fold compared to healthy pancreas, while 100 kDa HA conjugated to IRDye800 resulting in liver and spleen accumulation. Conclusion: These studies demonstrate that by tuning HA molecular weight and the physicochemical properties of the conjugated moiety, in this case a NIRF probe, peritoneal biodistribution can be substantially altered to achieve optimized delivery to tumors intraoperative abdominal imaging.

Abstract
Peptide-dye-conjugates hold a great promise in application for biological and medical imaging of cellular processes and in delineation and characterization of human tumors. In particular, indocyanine dyes are of great interest due to their reported superior properties such as absorption and emission in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range, favorable Stokes shifts and their well-studied safety profile in humans. In this study, we investigated and describe the influence of indocyanine dyes on different properties of the final peptide-dye-conjugates. As a target peptide, PESIN, a bombesin derivative, was used as a model peptide which addresses GRP receptors overexpressed on different malignancies. Here, we map similarities and differences of the fluorescent conjugates and by this elucidate the influence of the dyes on different properties of the formed conjugates. We performed the dye syntheses, subsequent bioconjugation reactions and in the following investigated the optical properties, water/octanol distribution coefficients and target receptor affinities by in vitro competitive binding studies on PC-3 cells. The obtained results give a handrail to medical and biological researchers planning studies involving indocyanine dye biomolecule conjugates.

Abstract
Optical imaging offers a high potential for noninvasive detection and therapy of cancer in humans. Recent advances in instrumentation for diffuse optical imaging have led to new capabilities for the detection of cancer in highly scattering tissue such as the female breast. In particular, fluorescence imaging was made applicable as a sensitive technique to image molecular probes in vivo. We review recent developments in the detection of breast cancer and fluorescence-guided surgery of the breast by contrast agents available for application on humans. Detection of cancer has been investigated with the unspecific contrast agents "indocyanine green" and "omocianine" so far. Hereby, indocyanine green was found to offer high potential for the differentiation of malignant and benign lesions by exploiting vessel permeability for macromolecules as a cancer-specific feature. Tumor-specific molecular targeting and activatable probes have been investigated in clinical trials for fluorescence-guided tumor margin detection. In this application, high spatial resolution can be achieved, since tumor regions are visualized mainly at the tissue surface. As another example of superficial tumor tissue, imaging of lesions in the gastrointestinal tract is discussed. Promising results have been obtained on high-risk patients with Barrett´s esophagus and with ulcerative colitis by administering 5-aminolevulinic acid which induces accumulation of protoporphyrin IX serving as a tumor-specific fluorescent marker. Time-gated fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy are effective ways to suppress underlying background from tissue autofluorescence. Furthermore, recently developed tumor-specific molecular probes have been demonstrated to be superior to white-light endoscopy offering new ways for early detection of malignancies in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Structure-based targeting of fluorescent dyes is essential for their use as imaging agents for disease diagnosis. Here, we describe the development of the benzoquinolizinium compound Medical fluorophore 1 (MF1) as a novel biomedical imaging agent that allows the visualization of inflammation by virtue of its unique chemical structure. Lipopolysaccharide treatment stimulated the uptake of MF1 by bone marrow-derived macrophages, with no adverse effects on cell proliferation. In vivo fluorescence lifetime imaging revealed the accumulation of MF1 in carrageenan-induced acute inflammatory lesions in mice, which peaked at 6 h. MF1-based imaging also allowed monitoring of the response to the anti-inflammatory drugs dexamethasone and sulfasalazine. Thus, MF1 can be used to diagnose diseases characterized by inflammation as well as treatment efficacy.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal) has captured the attention of biologists, chemists, and medical researchers as an important biomarker for cell senescence and primary ovarian cancer. Therefore, many fluorescent probes with visible light emission have been developed for the detection and imaging of β-gal in living cells. However, near-infrared (NIR) ratiometric probes are more suitable for bioimaging because near-infrared light can effectively avoid the interference of autofluorescence and the ratiometric approach can improve sensitivity and accuracy of the detection. In this work, we designed an NIR ratiometric probe (TMG) for the highly sensitive detection of β-gal. Using a spontaneous degradation mechanism based on the ICT effect, the change in ratio (F650/F580) exhibited a prominent β-gal-dependent performance and proved a strong linear response to the activity of β-gal at an enzyme concentration between 0 and 200 U L-1, with a limit of detection as low as 0.86 U L-1, and the response speed is much faster than the same type of probes previously reported. The probe also revealed an excellent biocompatibility and a large Stokes shift. Moreover, fluorescence microscopy imaging experiments confirmed that this probe could be successfully used for the detection of endogenous β-gal in living cells. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new imaging modality with the potential for high-resolution imaging while retaining the noninvasive nature of other current modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). It is able to track location and quantities of special superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles without tracing any background signal. MPI utilizes the unique, intrinsic aspects of the nanoparticles: how they react in the presence of the magnetic field, and the subsequent turning off of the field. The current group of nanoparticles that are used in MPI are usually commercially available for MRI. Special MPI tracers are in development by many groups that utilize an iron-oxide core encompassed by various coatings. These tracers would solve the current obstacles by altering the size and material of the nanoparticles to what is required by MPI. In this review, the theory behind and the development of these tracers are discussed. In addition, applications such as cell tracking, oncology imaging, neuroimaging, and vascular imaging, among others, stemming from the implementation of MPI into the standard are discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescence bioimaging affords a vital tool for both researchers and surgeons to molecularly target a variety of biological tissues and processes. This review focuses on summarizing organic dyes emitting at a biological transparency window termed the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) window, where minimal light interaction with the surrounding tissues allows photons to travel nearly unperturbed throughout the body. NIR-II fluorescence imaging overcomes the penetration/contrast bottleneck of imaging in the visible region, making it a remarkable modality for early diagnosis of cancer and highly sensitive tumor surgery. Due to their convenient bioconjugation with peptides/antibodies, NIR-II molecular dyes are desirable candidates for targeted cancer imaging, significantly overcoming the autofluorescence/scattering issues for deep tissue molecular imaging. To promote the clinical translation of NIR-II bioimaging, advancements in the high-performance small molecule-derived probes are critically important. Here, molecules with clinical potential for NIR-II imaging are discussed, summarizing the synthesis and chemical structures of NIR-II dyes, chemical and optical properties of NIR-II dyes, bioconjugation and biological behavior of NIR-II dyes, whole body imaging with NIR-II dyes for cancer detection and surgery, as well as NIR-II fluorescence microscopy imaging. A key perspective on the direction of NIR-II molecular dyes for cancer imaging and surgery is also discussed.

Am J Cancer Res 2019; 9:3515-3525. [PMID: 31281494 PMCID: PMC6587172 DOI: 10.7150/thno.32742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/29/2019] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Tumor imaging tools with high specificity and sensitivity are needed to aid the boundary recognition in solid tumor diagnosis and surgical resection. In this study, we developed a near infra-red (NIR) probe (P6) for in vitro/in vivo tumor imaging on the basis of the dual strategy of cancer cell targeting and stimulus-dependent activation. The selective imaging capacity towards cancer cells of P6 was thoroughly investigated, and the potential mechanisms of endocytosis were preliminary explored. Methods: GSH-activated biotin labelled NIR probe (P6) was designed, synthesized and characterized. The GSH responsive properties were systematically illustrated through UV-vis, fluorescent tests and LC-MS analysis. In vitro fluorescent imaging of probe P6 was collected in various living cancer cell lines (i.e. SW480, HGC-27, H460, BxPC-3, KHOS) and normal cell lines (i.e. BEAS-2B, HLF-1, THP1) under confocal laser scanning microscopy. Probe P6 was further applied to image primary human cancer cells which were freshly isolated from the peritoneal carcinoma and rectal cancer patients. Serial sections of human tumor tissues were collected and sent for H&E (hematoxylin-eosin) staining and P6 imaging. Live fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging were used to investigate the in vivo imaging of P6 in both tumor and normal tissues in HGC-27 and KHOS xenograft model. Results: Probe P6 could be recognized and transported into cancer cells by tumor specific biotin receptors and efficiently be triggered by GSH to release fluorophore 4. In fact, the cellular uptake of P6 could be partially blocked by the addition of free biotin. Furthermore, probe P6 could image various cancer cell lines, as well as primary cancer cells, exhibiting a ten-fold increase in fluorescence intensity over normal cells. In freshly dissected cancer tissues, P6 fluorescent imaging distinguished the cancerous area under confocal laser scanning microscopy, which was exact the same area as indicated by H&E staining. We also found that P6 exhibited superior selectivity against cancer tissues by local injection. Conclusion: In this study, we developed a dual-modal NIR probe P6 with enhanced cellular uptake into cancer cells and environmental stimulus triggered fluorescence. Our strategy provided a novel insight into the development of imaging tools that could be potentially used for fluorescent image-guided cancer boundary recognition and possibly cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Multiphoton imaging, a highly effective diagnostic technique, has recently gained widespread attention for early-stage cancer detection. Tremendous efforts have been dedicated to explore various types of exogenous contrast agents for improved signal-to-noise ratio of multiphoton imaging. Indocyanine green (ICG), the only U. S. FDA approved near-infrared chromophore, has been recently used as an exogenous contrast agent for two-photon bioimaging. Despite its great potential applications in clinical settings, the conventional delivery method of ICG has limited applications due to its poor cellular uptake and optical stability in its free form. Herein, we report the effect of nanoencapsulation of ICG on two-photon bioimaging. For this study, ICG was encapsulated within poly-l-arginine (PLA) based nanoparticles for the first time. These nanoparticles were found to be biocompatible and biodegradable as the major constituents were salts and PLA. These nanoparticles were spherical with a mean diameter of ∼61 nm and exhibit higher photostability than free ICG. Additionally, nanoencapsulated ICG treated cells show enhanced contrast for two-photon bioimaging in comparison with its free form. In summary, nanoencapsulated ICG could serve as an exogenous chromophore for multiphoton imaging, which shows excellent delivery efficacy. ICG-PLA NPs were synthesized for multiphoton bioimaging. The ICG-PLA NPs were more efficiently taken up by the cells and improved the photostability of the ICG. The ICG-PLA NPs incubated cells display superior contrast in multiphoton imaging.![]()

Abstract
To date, few optical imaging systems are available in clinical practice to perform noninvasive measurements transcutaneously. Instead, functional imaging is performed using ionizing radiation or intense magnetic fields in most cases. The applicability of fluorescence imaging (e.g., for the detection of fluorescently labeled objects, such as tumors) is limited due to the restricted tissue penetration of light and the required long exposure time. Thus, the development of highly sensitive and easily manageable instruments is necessary to broaden the utility of optical imaging. To advance these developments, an improved fluorescence imaging system was designed in this study that operates on the principle of noncontact laser-induced fluorescence and enables the detection of fluorescence from deeper tissue layers as well as real-time imaging. The high performance of the developed optical laser scanner results from the combination of specific point illumination, an intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) detector with a novel light trap, and a filtering strategy. The suitability of the laser scanner was demonstrated in two representative applications and an in vivo evaluation. In addition, a comparison with a planar imaging system was performed. The results show that the exposure time with the developed laser scanner can be reduced to a few milliseconds during measurements with a penetration depth of up to 32 mm. Due to these short exposure times, real-time fluorescence imaging can be easily achieved. The ability to measure fluorescence from deep tissue layers enables clinically relevant applications, such as the detection of fluorescently labeled malignant tumors.

Abstract
Lanthanide luminescence, while ideal for in vivo applications owing to sharp emission bands within the optical window, requires high-intensity, short-wavelength excitation of small organic "antenna" chromophores in the vicinity of the lanthanide complex to access excited f-orbital states through intersystem crossing. Herein, we explored Cherenkov radiation of the radioisotopes 18 F and 89 Zr as an in situ source of antenna excitation. The effective inter- and intramolecular excitation of the terbium(III) complexes of a macrocylic polyaminocarboxylate ligand (hydration number (q)=0, quantum yield (φ)=47 %) as well as its analogue functionalized to append an intramolecular Cherenkov excitation source (q=0.07, φ=63 %) was achieved. Using conventional small-animal fluorescence imaging equipment, we have determined a detection limit of 2.5 nmol of Tb(III) complex in presence of 10 μCi of 18 F or 89 Zr. Our system is the first demonstration of the optical imaging of discrete luminescent lanthanide complexes without external short-wave excitation.

Abstract
Molecular imaging is an emerging strategy for in vivo visualization of cancer over time based on biological mechanisms of disease activity. Optical imaging methods offer a number of advantages for real-time cancer detection, particularly in the epithelium of hollow organs and ducts, by using a broad spectral range of light that spans from visible to near-infrared. Targeted ligands are being developed for improved molecular specificity. These platforms include small molecule, peptide, affibody, activatable probes, lectin, and antibody. Fluorescence labeling is used to provide high image contrast. This emerging methodology is clinically useful for early cancer detection by identifying and localizing suspicious lesions that may not otherwise be seen and serves as a guide for tissue biopsy and surgical resection. Visualizing molecular expression patterns may also be useful to determine the best choice of therapy and to monitor efficacy. A number of these imaging agents are overcoming key challenges for clinical translation and are being validated in vivo for a wide range of human cancers.

Abstract
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a molecularly heterogeneous disease that is rising rapidly in incidence and has poor prognosis. We developed a heterobivalent peptide to target detection of early Barrett's neoplasia by combining monomer heptapeptides specific for either EGFR or ErbB2 in a heterodimer configuration. The structure of a triethylene glycol linker was optimized to maximize binding interactions to the surface receptors on cells. The Cy5.5-labeled heterodimer QRH*-KSP*-E3-Cy5.5 demonstrated specific binding to each target and showed 3-fold greater fluorescence intensity and 2-fold higher affinity compared with those of either monomer alone. Peak uptake in xenograft tumors was observed at 2 h postinjection with systemic clearance by ∼24 h in vivo. Furthermore, ligand binding was evaluated on human esophageal specimens ex vivo, and 88% sensitivity and 87% specificity were found for the detection of either high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or EAC. This peptide heterodimer shows promise for targeted detection of early Barrett's neoplasia in clinical study.

Abstract
Pathological changes in a diseased site are often accompanied by abnormal activities of various biomolecules in and around the involved cells. Identifying the location and expression levels of these biomolecules could enable early-stage diagnosis of the related disease, the design of an appropriate treatment strategy, and the accurate assessment of the treatment outcomes. Over the past two decades, a great diversity of peptide-based nanoprobes (PBNs) have been developed, aiming to improve the in vitro and in vivo performances of water-soluble molecular probes through engineering of their primary chemical structures as well as the physicochemical properties of their resultant assemblies. In this review, we introduce strategies and approaches adopted for the identification of functional peptides in the context of molecular imaging and disease diagnostics, and then focus our discussion on the design and construction of PBNs capable of navigating through physiological barriers for targeted delivery and improved specificity and sensitivity in recognizing target biomolecules. We highlight the biological and structural roles that low-molecular-weight peptides play in PBN design and provide our perspectives on the future development of PBNs for clinical translation.

Abstract
Low water solubility and poor selectivity are two fundamental limitations that compromise applications of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes. Methods: Here, a simple strategy that can resolve these problems simultaneously was developed by using a novel hybrid protein named RGD-HFBI that is produced by fusion of hydrophobin HFBI and arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide. This unique hybrid protein inherits self-assembly and targeting functions from HFBI and RGD peptide respectively. Results: Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) used as a model NIR dye can be efficiently dispersed in the RGD-HFBI solution by simple mixing and sonication for 30 min. The data shows that self-assembled RGD-HFBI forms a protein nanocage by using the BODIPY as the assembly template. Cell uptake assay proves that RGD-HFBI/BODIPY can efficiently stain αvβ3 integrin-positive cancer cells. Finally, in vivo affinity tests fully demonstrate that the soluble RGD-HFBI/BODIPY complex selectively targets and labels tumor sites of tumor-bearing mice due to the high selectivity of the RGD peptide. Conclusion: Our one-step strategy using dual-functional RGD-HFBI opens a novel route to generate soluble and targeted NIR fluorescent dyes in a very simple and efficient way and may be developed as a general strategy to broaden their applications.
