TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent progress in the development of OSMs based on small-molecule fluorophores, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dyes and semiconducting oligomer/polymer nanoparticles (SONs/SPNs) for advanced biophotonic applications and highlights OSMs as a multifunctional platform for a wide range of biomedical applications.

TL;DR: The development of the first organic photothermal nanoagent (SPNI‐II) with dual‐peak absorption in both NIR windows and its utilization in photothermal therapy (PTT) are reported herein.

TL;DR: This review surveys recent progress made on the design and synthesis of SPNs for molecular imaging and cancer phototherapy and suggests that future efforts should further expand the use ofSPNs in biomedical research and may even move them beyond pre-clinical studies.

TL;DR: MRPs in situ report the sequential occurrence of oxidative stress, lysosomal damage and cellular apoptosis, which precedes clinical manifestation of AKI (decreased glomerular filtration), allowing MRPs to non-invasively detect the onset of cisplatin-induced AKI at least 36 h earlier than the existing imaging methods.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates a unique multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform for multi-mode imaging and photothermal therapy of tumors, which may find applications in theranostics of different types of cancer.
