TL;DR: This review mainly summarize the latest advancements in enzyme-reactive NIR fluorescent probes from design strategy to biomedical application and presents some challenges and prospects that will be beneficial to innovatively construct new multifunctional fluorescent probes and actively promote their clinical transformation in the future.

TL;DR: An APN-responsive fluorescent probe YH-APN is reported, and its application to distinguish cancer cells is demonstrated and the ability to image metastasis tumor tissue less than 1 mm in diameter is demonstrated, highlighting the potential for this probe to be used as a tool in surgical resection.

TL;DR: DQM-ALP enabled differentiation between tumor and normal tissue ex’vivo and in vivo, suggesting that the probe may serve as a powerful tool to assist surgeons during tumor resection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the recent progress in bacterial detection using fluorescence and generalize the mechanisms commonly used to design organic fluorescent probes for detecting and imaging bacteria, and discuss a perspective regarding fluorescent probe for bacterial detection.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a molecular design strategy to tune the dispersity of aggregation-induced emission luminogens in both lipophilic and hydrophilic systems to obtain the novel near-infrared (NIR, ∼737 nm) amphiphilic AIE photosensitizer (named TPA-S-TPP) with two positive charges as well as a triplet lifetime of 11.43 μs.
