TL;DR: These efforts place an emphasis on improvements in terms of low cytotoxicity, high photostability, near-infrared (NIR) emission, two-photon excitation, and long fluorescence lifetimes, which are crucial for long-time tracking of biological processes, tissue and body imaging with deep penetration and low autofluorescence, and time-resolved fluorescence imaging.

TL;DR: In this paper, a selective sensor based on an internal charge transfer (ICT) mechanism was designed and synthesized for the fluorescent imaging of Cd2+ in living cells, which can be used in both general fluorescence intensity microscopy and ratiometric fluorescence microscopy.

TL;DR: A near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered molecular superoxide radical (O2-•) generator (ENBS-B) is developed to surmount this intractable issue and extend the options of excellent agents for clinical cancer therapy.

TL;DR: The development of CDs in nanomedicine is reviewed from their use as original imaging agents and/or drug carriers to multifunctional theranostic systems.

TL;DR: This tutorial review will focus on the recent advancements of chemiluminescent platforms based on luminophore substrates including luminol and its derivatives, cypridina luciferin analogs, peroxyoxalates, and dioxetanes, and systematically summarize the design principles, sensing mechanisms, and bioimaging and therapeutic applications of representative chemilUMinescent probes as well as theranostic agents.
