Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides, including WSe2, have gained significant attention as promising nanomaterials for various applications due to their unique properties. In this study, we explore the temperature-dependent photoluminescent properties of WSe2 nanomaterials to investigate their potential as luminescent nanothermometers. We compare the performance of WSe2 quantum dots and nanorods synthesized using sonication synthesis and hot injection methods. Our results show a distinct temperature dependence of the photoluminescence, and conventional ratiometric luminescence thermometry demonstrates comparable relative thermal sensitivity (0.68-0.80% K-1) and temperature uncertainty (1.3-1.5 K), irrespective of the morphology of the nanomaterials. By applying multiple linear regression to WSe2 quantum dots, we achieve enhanced thermal sensitivity (30% K-1) and reduced temperature uncertainty (0.1 K), highlighting the potential of WSe2 as a versatile nanothermometer for microfluidics, nanofluidics, and biomedical assays.

Abstract
The present paper reports on a Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis of the experimental situation corresponding to the measurement of the temperature variation in a single cell plated on bulk diamond by means of optical techniques. Starting from previous experimental results, we have determined-in a uniform power density approximation and under steady-state conditions-the total heat power that has to be dissipated by a single cell plated on a glassy substrate in order to induce the typical maximum temperature increase ΔTglass=1 K. While keeping all of the other parameters constant, the glassy substrate has been replaced by a diamond plate. The FEM analysis shows that, in this case, the maximum temperature increase is expected at the diamond/cell interface and is as small as ΔTdiam=4.6×10-4 K. We have also calculated the typical decay time in the transient scenario, which resulted in τ≈ 250 μs. By comparing these results with the state-of-the-art sensitivity values, we prove that the potential advantages of a longer coherence time, better spectral properties, and the use of special field alignments do not justify the use of diamond substrates in their bulk form.

Abstract
Ratiometric fluorescent nanothermometers with near-infrared emission play an important role in in vivo sensing since they can be used as intracellular thermal sensing probes with high spatial resolution and high sensitivity, to investigate cellular functions of interest in diagnosis and therapy, where current approaches are not effective. Herein, the temperature-dependent fluorescence of organic nanoparticles is designed, synthesized, and studied based on the dual emission, generated by monomer and excimer species, of the tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl radical (TTM) doping organic nanoparticles (TTMd-ONPs), made of optically neutral tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methane (TTM-αH), acting as a matrix. The excimer emission intensity of TTMd-ONPs decreases with increasing temperatures whereas the monomer emission is almost independent and can be used as an internal reference. TTMd-ONPs show a great temperature sensitivity (3.4% K-1 at 328 K) and a wide temperature response at ambient conditions with excellent reversibility and high colloidal stability. In addition, TTMd-ONPs are not cytotoxic and their ratiometric outputs are unaffected by changes in the environment. Individual TTMd-ONPs are able to sense temperature changes at the nano-microscale. In vivo thermometry experiments in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) worms show that TTMd-ONPs can locally monitor internal body temperature changes with spatio-temporal resolution and high sensitivity, offering multiple applications in the biological nanothermometry field.

Abstract
Specific metabolic aberrations of cancer cells rapidly generate energy with a minuscule but detectable temperature variation, which is a typical characteristic providing insight into cancer pathogenesis. However, to date, intracellular temperature mapping of cancer cell metabolism with high temporal and spatial resolution has not been realized. In this study, we mapped and monitored in real-time the intracellular temperature variations of mitochondria and cytoplasm at a subcellular scale via a single-molecule coherent modulation microscopy coupling targeted molecule labeling technique. According to the variation of the decoherence processes of targeted molecules as a function of intracellular temperature, we achieved a high temperature resolution (<0.1 K) and proved that this technique could eliminate interference from fluorescence intensity disturbance and external pH change. Furthermore, we showed a positive correlation between the determined temperature and the adenosine triphosphate production rate of mitochondrial metabolism in combination with a cell energy metabolic analyzer. This technology enables accurate real-time temporal and spatial visualization of cancer metabolism and establishes diagnoses and therapies for cancer.

Abstract
Temperature is an important biophysical parameter that is closely related with the metabolic activity in living cells. Therefore, the detection of intracellular temperature changes is crucial for exploring temperature-related biological processes. Fluorescence probe is an ideal tool for observing temperature changes in cells, which has many advantages, such as high sensitivity, good selectivity, and noninvasive, and thus aroused the great interest of researchers. In this paper, we summarize the recent progress of organic small molecule temperature-sensitive fluorescence probes in recent years was reviewed. Particularly, we describe the common response mode to the temperature and the practical applications of the probe in living cells and even animal models. Moreover, an outlook regarding temperature detection in clinical applications is discussed. The temperature-sensitive fluorescent probe is a "black box" to many researchers. This review aims to open a window on the prospect of the noninvasive in vivo detection of temperature which is helpful to deeper understand this rich research area.

Abstract
Temperature is one of the most relevant parameters for the regulation of intracellular processes. Measuring localized subcellular temperature gradients is fundamental for a deeper understanding of cell function, such as the genesis of action potentials, and cell metabolism. Notwithstanding several proposed techniques, at the moment detection of temperature fluctuations at the subcellular level still represents an ongoing challenge. Here, for the first time, temperature variations (1 °C) associated with potentiation and inhibition of neuronal firing is detected, by exploiting a nanoscale thermometer based on optically detected magnetic resonance in nanodiamonds. The results demonstrate that nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds provide a tool for assessing various levels of neuronal spiking activity, since they are suitable for monitoring different temperature variations, respectively, associated with the spontaneous firing of hippocampal neurons, the disinhibition of GABAergic transmission and the silencing of the network. Conjugated with the high sensitivity of this technique (in perspective sensitive to < 0.1 °C variations), nanodiamonds pave the way to a systematic study of the generation of localized temperature gradients under physiological and pathological conditions. Furthermore, they prompt further studies explaining in detail the physiological mechanism originating this effect.

Abstract
![]()
The aggregation of
Aβ42 is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s
disease. It is still not known what the biochemical changes are inside
a cell which will eventually lead to Aβ42 aggregation. Thermogenesis
has been associated with cellular stress, the latter of which may
promote aggregation. We perform intracellular thermometry measurements
using fluorescent polymeric thermometers to show that Aβ42 aggregation
in live cells leads to an increase in cell-averaged temperatures.
This rise in temperature is mitigated upon treatment with an aggregation
inhibitor of Aβ42 and is independent of mitochondrial damage
that can otherwise lead to thermogenesis. With this, we present a
diagnostic assay which could be used to screen small-molecule inhibitors
to amyloid proteins in physiologically relevant settings. To interpret
our experimental observations and motivate the development of future
models, we perform classical molecular dynamics of model Aβ
peptides to examine the factors that hinder thermal dissipation. We
observe that this is controlled by the presence of ions in its surrounding
environment, the morphology of the amyloid peptides, and the extent
of its hydrogen-bonding interactions with water. We show that aggregation
and heat retention by Aβ peptides are favored under intracellular-mimicking
ionic conditions, which could potentially promote thermogenesis. The
latter will, in turn, trigger further nucleation events that accelerate
disease progression.

Abstract
Local polarity can affect the physical or chemical behaviors of surrounding molecules, especially in organisms. Cell polarity is the ultimate feedback of cellular status and regulation mechanisms. Hence, the abnormal alteration of polarity in organisms is closely linked with functional disorders and many diseases. It is incredibly significant to monitor and detect local polarity to explain the biological processes and diagnoses of some diseases. Because of their in vivo safe and real-time monitoring, several polarity-sensitive fluorophores and fluorescent probes have gradually emerged and been used in modern research. This review summarizes the fluorescence properties and applications of several representative polarity-sensitive fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Temperature is a key indicator of infection and disease, however, it is difficult to measure at a cellular level. Nanoparticles are applied to measure the cellular temperature, and enhancement of the stability and reliability of the signal and higher biocompatibility are demanded. We have developed fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles loaded with temperature-sensitive units (as rhodamine B) and internal reference units (as coumarin) for imaging and ratiometric sensing of the cellular temperature in the physiological range. The fluorescence signal of the nanoparticles was stable in the bio-environment and the ratiometric sensing strategy could overcome the concentration effect of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were endocytosed by cells and partially presented in mitochondria. The fluorescence intensity ratio of rhodamine B and coumarin using nanoparticles showed good linear correlations in buffer solutions, cell suspensions, and imaging of living cells. Using the fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles, the change of temperature of cells during influenza virus infection could be individually monitored.

Abstract
Temperature is an important factor in the process of life, as thermal energy transfer participates in all biological events in organisms. Due to technical limitations, there is still a lot more information to be explored regarding the correlation between life activities and temperature changes.

Here, we introduce the latest advances in temperature sensors for biological detection and their related applications in metabolic research. Various technologies are discussed in terms of their advantages and shortcomings, and future prospects are presented.

Lee BH, McKinney RL, Hasan MT, Naumov AV. Graphene Quantum Dots as Intracellular Imaging-Based Temperature Sensors. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:616. [PMID: 33572783 PMCID: PMC7866248 DOI: 10.3390/ma14030616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Non-invasive temperature sensing is necessary to analyze biological processes occurring in the human body, including cellular enzyme activity, protein expression, and ion regulation. To probe temperature-sensitive processes at the nanoscale, novel luminescence nanothermometers are developed based on graphene quantum dots (GQDs) synthesized via top-down (RGQDs) and bottom-up (N-GQDs) approaches from reduced graphene oxide and glucosamine precursors, respectively. Because of their small 3-6 nm size, non-invasive optical sensitivity to temperature change, and high biocompatibility, GQDs enable biologically safe sub-cellular resolution sensing. Both GQD types exhibit temperature-sensitive yet photostable fluorescence in the visible and near-infrared for RGQDs, utilized as a sensing mechanism in this work. Distinctive linear and reversible fluorescence quenching by up to 19.3% is observed for the visible and near-infrared GQD emission in aqueous suspension from 25 °C to 49 °C. A more pronounced trend is observed with GQD nanothermometers internalized into the cytoplasm of HeLa cells as they are tested in vitro from 25 °C to 45 °C with over 40% quenching response. Our findings suggest that the temperature-dependent fluorescence quenching of bottom-up and top-down-synthesized GQDs studied in this work can serve as non-invasive reversible/photostable deterministic mechanisms for temperature sensing in microscopic sub-cellular biological environments.

Abstract
Temperature is a fundamental physical parameter that influences biological processes in living cells. Hence, intracellular temperature mapping can be used to derive useful information reflective of thermodynamic properties and cellular behaviour. Herein, existing publications on different thermometry systems, focusing on those that employ fluorescence-based techniques, are reviewed. From developments based on fluorescent proteins and inorganic molecules to metal nanoclusters and fluorescent polymers, the general findings of intracellular measurements from different research groups are discussed. Furthermore, the contradiction of mitochondrial thermogenesis and nuclear-cytoplasmic temperature differences to current thermodynamic understanding are highlighted. Lastly, intracellular thermometry is proposed as a tool to quantify the energy flow and cost associated with amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) aggregation, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
In all living things, temperature is a key factor to maintain function and survive. Animals and plants need to adapt temperature change with optimizing their behaviour and growth by sensing temperature. Similarly, tumour cells must adapt continuously to fluctuations in external conditions including temperature. To find a better environment, cancer cells promote growth and metastasis, which contributes to tumour malignancy. Pathological studies in breast cancer have implied that temperature is associated with disease progression. However, no clear mechanisms have emerged for how thermal changes affect tumour cells and their gene regulation in tumour development and malignancy. Here we discovered the temperature-dependent extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion in breast cancer. Cancer cell growth and EV secretion increased in a temperature-dependent manner, which indicated that temperatures were associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. We also found that low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), a responsible gene for temperature-dependent EV secretion, was upregulated with the increase in temperature. Consistent with our results, LDLR gene has been characterized and identified as a key factor for malignancy in a wide range of cancers. Our findings shed new light on tumour aggressiveness and therapeutic strategies for breast cancer, especially regarding EV formation and secretion, thus providing a new relationship between cancer and EV biology in the light of temperature.

Abstract
Monitoring local temperature inside cells is crucial when interpreting biological activities as enhanced cellular metabolism leads to higher heat production and is commonly correlated with the presence of diseases such as cancer. In this study, we report on polymeric upconversion nanocapsules for potential use as local nanothermometers in cells by exploiting the temperature dependence of the triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion phenomenon. Nanocapsules synthesized by the miniemulsion solvent evaporation technique are composed of a polymer shell and a liquid core of rice bran oil, hosting triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion active dyes as sensitizer and emitter molecules. The sensitivity of the triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion to the local oxygen concentration was overcome by the oxygen reduction ability of the rice bran oil core. The triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion process could thus successfully be applied at different levels of oxygen presence including at ambient conditions. Using this method, the local temperature within a range of 22 to 40 °C could be determined when the upconversion nanocapsules were taken up by HeLa cells with good cellular viability. Thus, the higher cell temperatures where the cells show enhanced metabolic activity led to a significant increase in the delayed fluorescence spectrum of the upconversion nanocapsules. These findings are promising for further development of novel treatment and diagnostic tools in medicine.

Abstract
Microscale thermometry of aqueous solutions is essential to understand the dynamics of local heat generation and dissipation in chemical and biological systems. A wide variety of fluorescent probes have been developed to map temperature changes with submicrometer resolution, but they often suffer from the uncertainty associated with microenvironment-dependent fluorescent properties. In this work, we develop a label-free ratiometric stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy technique to quantify microscale temperature by monitoring the O-H Raman stretching modes of water. By tracking the ratio changes of the hydrogen-bonding O-H band and the isosbestic band, we can directly quantify the temperature of water-based environments in real time without exogenous contrast agents. We demonstrate real-time measurement of localized intracellular and extracellular temperature changes due to laser absorption. This high-speed nonlinear optical imaging technique has the potential for in situ microscale imaging of thermogenesis in both chemical and biological systems.

Abstract
Microenvironmental parameters, including hypoxia, pH, polarity, viscosity and temperature, play pivotal roles in controlling the biological, physical or chemical behaviors of local molecules. Abnormal changes in these parameters would cause cellular malfunction or become a hallmark of the occurrence of severe diseases. Recently, a number of phosphorescent Ir(iii) complexes have been designed to respond to such parameters due to their attractive properties such as high photostability, long emission lifetimes, and environment-sensitive emission profiles. This review aims to provide a summary of the progress achieved in developing iridium-based probes responding to microenvironmental parameters in biological systems in recent years for diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

Abstract
Nanocalorimeters, or microfabricated calorimeters, provide a promising way to characterize the thermal process of biological processes, such as biomolecule interactions and cellular metabolic activities. They enabled miniaturized heat measurement onto a chip device with potential benefits including low sample consumption, low cost, portability, and high throughput. Over the past few decades, researchers have tried to improve nanocalorimeters' performance, in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, and detection resolution, by exploring different sensing methods, thermal insulation techniques, and liquid handling methods. The enhanced devices resulted in new applications in recent years, and here we have summarized the performance parameters and applications based on categories. Finally, we have listed the current technical difficulties in nanocalorimeter research and hope for future solutions to overcome them.

Abstract
We synthesized (2,4-trifluoromethyl-7-N-bis(2,5,8,11-tetraoxatridecane-13-yl)-aminoquinoline) TFMAQ-diEg4, an emissive aminoquinoline derivative that incorporated two tetraethyleneglycol chains into an amino group. TFMAQ-diEg4 showed fluorescence and thermo-responsive properties accompanied by a lower critical solution temperature (LCST), due to the introduction of the oligoethylene glycol chain. This thermo-responsive LCST behavior occurred at the border of a cloud point. Below and above the cloud point, self-assemblies of 6-7-nm nanoparticles and ~2000-nm microparticles were observed, in vitro. In addition, TFMAQ-diEg4 showed a high solubility, over 20 mM for aqueous solution, in vivo, which not only prevented thrombosis but also allowed various examinations, such as single intravenous administration and intravenous drips. Intravenous administration of TFMAQ-diEg4, to tumor-bearing, mice led to the accumulation of the molecule in the tumor tissue, as observed by fluorescence imaging. A subset of mice was treated with local heat around their tumor tissue and an intravenous drip of TFMAQ-diEg4, which led to a high intensity of TFMAQ-diEg4 emission within the tumor tissue. Therefore, we revealed that TFMAQ-diEg4 was useful as a fluorescence probe with thermo-responsive properties.

Abstract
Temperature distributions inside a living cell reflect the thermodynamics and functions of cellular components. We used a newly-developed method of mitochondrial thermometry based on Rhodamine B methyl ester, which equilibrates as a thermosensitive mixture of nonfluorescent and fluorescent resonance forms. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is released from hepatic non-parenchymal Kupffer cells and acts as an inflammatory factor to impact various functions of hepatocytes. The activity of PGE2 on energy mechanism of hepatocytes has not been fully elucidated and in particular, which PGE2 receptor mediates the functions has been elusive. We identified EP4 as the major receptor of PGE2 via our mitochondrion-thermometry approach and then substantiated this receptor's role in hepatic metabolism. We discovered that PGE2 is able to decrease intracellular temperature of hepatocytes, via increasing some lipogenic genes' expressions, hampering lipolysis and mitochondrial β-oxidation, reducing intracellular ATP level and elevating cAMP level through EP4 receptor. The redox status of hepatocytes represented by FAD vs FAD + NADH ratio is influenced by PGE2 in an EP4 receptor-dependent manner. Collectively, these data demonstrate that PGE2 regulates metabolism of hepatocytes mainly through EP4 receptor.

Abstract
We developed carriers of a 19F magnetic resonance imaging (19F MRI) agent, capable of responding to the temperature difference for cancer diagnosis. The carriers were based on high melting point (mp) neutral lipids, namely, tripalmitin (TPT) and tristearin (TSR) and triarachidin (TAC). Lipid nano-emulsions (LNEs) containing a fluorine compound, i.e., a modified α-tocopherol (19F-TP), were respectively prepared as TPT-LNE, TSR-LNE, TAC-LNE1, and TAC-LNE2 and studied by 19F NMR spectroscopy. In LNE prepared with soybean oil as a control, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the 19F NMR signal of 19F-TP remained constant at 25, 37, and 42°C, while those of the LNEs prepared from a neutral lipid with a high mp showed a sharp decrease between 25 and 37°C. The magnitude of the decrease followed the order: TPT-LNE < TSR-LNE < TAC-LNE1. However, TAC-LNE2, for which the amount of encapsulated 19F-TP was one third less than that of TAC-LNE1, showed a sharp decline in the FWHM between 37 and 42°C. To examine these changes, the 19F spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times of 19F-TP were measured. TAC-LNE2 in particular showed a substantial change in its T2 value between 37 and 42°C compared with the change of its T1 value. This result was attributed to activation of the molecular motion of 19F-TP in TAC-LNE2 from 37 to 42°C. Thus, TAC-LNE showed potential for use as a carrier for cancer diagnosis using 19F MRI.

Abstract
Temperature is one of the most fundamental parameters for the characterization of a physical system. With rapid development of lab-on-a-chip and biology at single cell level, a great demand has risen for the temperature sensors with high spatial, temporal, and thermal resolution. Nevertheless, measuring temperature in liquid environment is always a technical challenge. Various factors may affect the sensing results, such as the fabrication parameters of built-in sensors, thermal property of electrical insulating layer, and stability of fluorescent thermometers in liquid environment. In this review, we focused on different kinds of micro/nano-thermometers applied in the thermal sensing for microfluidic systems and cultured cells. We discussed the advantages and limitations of these thermometers in specific applications and the challenges and possible solutions for more accurate temperature measurements in further studies.

Abstract
Temperature influences the activities of living organisms at various levels. Cells not only detect environmental temperature changes through their unique temperature-sensitive molecular machineries but also muster an appropriate response to the temperature change to maintain their inherent functions. Despite the fundamental involvement of temperature in physiological phenomena, the mechanism by which cells produce and use heat is largely unknown. Recently, fluorescent thermosensors that function as thermometers in live cells have attracted much attention in biology. These new tools, made of various temperature-sensitive molecules, have allowed for intracellular thermometry at the single-cell level. Intriguing spatiotemporal temperature variations, including organelle-specific thermogenesis, have been revealed with these fluorescent thermosensors, which suggest an intrinsic connection between temperature and cell functions. Moreover, fluorescent thermosensors have shown that intracellular temperature changes at the microscopic level are largely different from those assumed for a water environment at the macroscopic level. Thus, the employment of fluorescent thermosensors will uncover novel mechanisms of intracellular temperature-assisted physiological functions.

Abstract
Microcirculation is a network of perfused capillaries that connects macrocirculation with the cells. Although research has provided insight into microcirculatory blood flow, our knowledge remains limited. In this article, we propose a new role of microcirculation in physiological and shock states. In healthy individuals, microcirculation maintains cellular homeostasis via preconditioning. When blood volume decreases, the ensuing microcirculatory changes result in heterogeneity of perfusion and tissue oxygenation. Initially, this is partly compensated by the preserved autoregulation and the increase in the metabolism rate of cells, but at later stages, the loss of autoregulation activates the cascade of intracellular hypothermia.

Abstract
Nanoparticles capable of accumulating in tumor tissues are promising materials for tumor imaging and therapy. In this study, two radical nanoparticles (RNPs), denoted as 1 and 2, composed of self-assembled ureabenzene derivatives possessing one or two amphiphilic side chains were demonstrated to be candidates for metal-free functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs). Because of the self-assembly behavior of 1 and 2 in a saline solution, spherical RNPs of sizes ∼50-90 and ∼30-100 nm were detected. In a highly concentrated solution, RNP 1 showed considerably small water-proton relaxivity values (r1 and r2), whereas RNP 2 showed an r1 value that was around 5 times larger than that of RNP 1. These distinct r1 values might be caused by differences in the self-assembly behavior by a hydration or dehydration process. In vivo studies with RNP 2 demonstrated a slightly enhanced T1-weighted image in mice, suggesting that the RNPs can potentially be used as metal-free functional MRI CAs for T1-weighted imaging.

Abstract
To monitor the temperature distribution of a cell and its changes under varied conditions is currently a technical challenge. A variety of non-contact methods used for measuring cellular temperature have been developed, where changes of local temperature at cell-level and sub-cell-level are indirectly calculated through the changes in intensity, band-shape, bandwidth, lifetime or polarization anisotropy of the fluorescence spectra recorded from the nano-sized fluorescent materials pre-injected into the target cell. Unfortunately, the optical properties of the fluorescent nano-materials may be affected by complicated intracellular environment, leading to unexpected measurement errors and controversial arguments. Here, we attempted to offer an alternative approach for measuring the absolute increments of local temperature in micro-Testing Zones induced by live cells. In this method, built-in high-performance micro-thermocouple arrays and double-stabilized system with a stability of 10 mK were applied. Increments of local temperature close to adherent human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells were continuously recorded for days without stimulus, showing frequent fluctuations within 60 mK and a maximum increment by 285 mK. This method may open a door for real-time recording of the absolute local temperature increments of individual cells, therefore offering valuable information for cell biology and clinical therapy in the field of cancer research.

Abstract
In this study we describe the construction of a system composed of thermally responsive molecules that can be induced to accumulate in tumor tissues by heating. EgX molecules consisting of an urea-benzene framework and oligoethylene glycol (OEG) functional groups with an emissive aminoquinoline formed nanoparticles (NPs) ∼10 nm in size at 23 °C with a fluorescence quantum yield of 7-10%. At higher temperatures, additional self-assembly occurred as a result of OEG dehydration, and the NPs grew to over 1000 nm in size; this was accompanied by low critical solution temperature behavior. EgXs accumulated in tumor tissues of mice at a body temperature of around 33-35 °C, an effect that was accelerated by external heating around the tumor to approximately 40 °C as a result of increased particle size and enhanced retention in tissue. These EgX NPs can serve as a tool for in vivo monitoring of tumor progression and response to treatment.

Abstract
Noninvasive and accurate measurement of intracellular temperature is of great significance in biology and medicine. This paper describes a safe, stable, and accurate intracellular nano-thermometer based on an L-DNA molecular beacon (L-MB), a dual-labeled hairpin oligonucleotide built from the optical isomer of naturally occurring d-DNA. Relying on the temperature-responsive hairpin structure and the FRET signaling mechanism of MBs, the fluorescence of L-MBs is quenched below the melting temperature and enhanced with increasing temperature. Because of the excellent reversibility and tunable response range, L-MBs are very suitable for temperature sensing. More importantly, the non-natural L-DNA backbone prevents the L-MBs from binding to cellular nucleic acids and proteins as well as from being digested by nucleases inside the cells, thus ensuring excellent stability and accuracy of the nano-thermometer in a complex cellular environment. The L-MB nano-thermometer was used for the photothermal study of Pd nanosheets in living cells, establishing the nano-thermometer as a useful tool for intracellular temperature measurement.

Abstract
During the last decade inorganic luminescent nanoparticles that emit visible light under near infrared (NIR) excitation (in the biological window) have played a relevant role for high resolution imaging of cancer. Indeed, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and metal nanoparticles, mostly gold nanorods (GNRs), are already commercially available for this purpose. In this work we review the role which is being played by a relatively new class of nanoparticles, based on lanthanide ion doped nanocrystals, to target and image cancer cells using upconversion fluorescence microscopy. These nanoparticles are insulating nanocrystals that are usually doped with small percentages of two different rare earth (lanthanide) ions: The excited donor ions (usually Yb3+ ion) that absorb the NIR excitation and the acceptor ions (usually Er3+, Ho3+ or Tm3+), that are responsible for the emitted visible (or also near infrared) radiation. The higher conversion efficiency of these nanoparticles in respect to those based on QDs and GNRs, as well as the almost independent excitation/emission properties from the particle size, make them particularly promising for fluorescence imaging. The different approaches of these novel nanoparticles devoted to "in vitro" and "in vivo" cancer imaging, selective targeting and treatment are examined in this review.

Abstract
Cellular functions are fundamentally regulated by intracellular temperature, which influences biochemical reactions inside a cell. Despite the important contributions to biological and medical applications that it would offer, intracellular temperature mapping has not been achieved. Here we demonstrate the first intracellular temperature mapping based on a fluorescent polymeric thermometer and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. The spatial and temperature resolutions of our thermometry were at the diffraction limited level (200 nm) and 0.18–0.58 °C. The intracellular temperature distribution we observed indicated that the nucleus and centrosome of a COS7 cell, both showed a significantly higher temperature than the cytoplasm and that the temperature gap between the nucleus and the cytoplasm differed depending on the cell cycle. The heat production from mitochondria was also observed as a proximal local temperature increase. These results showed that our new intracellular thermometry could determine an intrinsic relationship between the temperature and organelle function. Intracellular temperature mapping has not previously been achieved. Now, a fluorescent polymeric thermometer has been developed that can be used in combination with fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy to allow thermometry with spatial and temperature resolutions of 200 nm and 0.18–0.58 ° C.

Abstract
Hybrid micro-/nanogels are playing an increasing important part in a diverse range of applications, due to their tunable dimensions, large surface area, stable interior network structure, and a very short response time. We review recent advances and challenges in the developments of hybrid micro-/nanogels toward applications for optical sensing of pH, temperature, glucose, ions, and other species as well as for intracellular imaging. Due to their unique advantages, hybrid micro-/nanogels as optical probes are attracting substantial interests for continuous monitoring of chemical parameters in complex samples such as blood and bioreactor fluids, in chemical research and industry, and in food quality control. In particular, their intracellular probing ability enables the monitoring of the biochemistry and biophysics of live cells over time and space, thus contributing to the explanation of intricate biological processes and the development of novel diagnoses. Unlike most other probes, hybrid micro-/nanogels could also combine other multiple functions into a single probe. The rational design of hybrid micro-/nanogels will not only improve the probing applications as desirable, but also implement their applications in new arenas. With ongoing rapid advances in bionanotechnology, the well-designed hybrid micro-/nanogel probes will be able to provide simultaneous sensing, imaging diagnosis, and therapy toward clinical applications.

Abstract
The first methodology to measure intracellular temperature is described. A highly hydrophilic fluorescent nanogel thermometer developed for this purpose stays in the cytoplasm and emits stronger fluorescence at a higher temperature. Thus, intracellular temperature variations associated with biological processes can be monitored by this novel thermometer with a temperature resolution of better than 0.5 degrees C.

Abstract
In this comparative study, microcalorimetric measurements were carried out on a total of 96 tumorous and nontumorous tissue samples taken from organs of the urogenital tract using a thermal activity monitor (TAM). Changes in the heat emission of the tissue samples were measured at 1-min intervals and graphically displayed as a function of time. The aim of the study was to compare the microcalorimetric results with impulse-cytophotometric and histological findings and provide evidence for the metabolic activity of tumorous and nontumorous tissue. In order to obtain the variation in metabolic activity, the maxima (Pmax) of the curves were determined as a value of the maximum thermal power of a tissue sample, the mean values (P) were determined by the mean thermal power and the contour integrals (W) were defined by the behavior of the energy reserves and their mobilization. The first part of the study was carried out to investigate whether tumorous and nontumorous tissue samples differ in general according to their metabolic activity. We discovered, using the parameters described above, that in general tumorous tissue exhibited a higher metabolic activity than nontumorous tissue samples. For example, both W and P in tumorous prostate tissue samples were eightfold higher and the (Pmax) value was 8.4-fold higher than in normal tissue. Additional investigations on testicle and kidney tissues were performed to find a possible correlation between microcalorimetric results and histological grading. We found that an increasing malignancy correlated with a higher metabolic activity of the tissue. Based upon these results we were able to differentiate the various histological gradings of these tumorous tissues by microcalorimetric measurements. The results show it is possible to differentiate between normal and tumorous tissue samples by microcalorimetric measurement based on the distinctly higher metabolic activity of malignant tissue. Furthermore, microcalorimetry allows a differentiation and classification of tissue samples into their histological grading. With the help of microcalorimetry, it might be possible in future to detect and record the metabolic processes of isolated tissue structures and changes in these activities as a result of medical intervention such as cytostatic treatment.
