TL;DR: The AIE‐active fluorogen‐loaded BSA NPs show an excellent cancer cell uptake and a prominent tumor‐targeting ability in vivo due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect.

TL;DR: A new type of fluorescence "turn-on" probe for tracing live cells over a long period of time by attaching a large number of tetraphenylethene labels to a chitosan (CS) chain that shows a unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior.

TL;DR: The organic far-red/near-infrared dots with aggregation-induced emission (AIE dots) successfully developed and demonstrated their utilities as long-term cell trackers, opening a new avenue in the development of fluorescent probes for following biological processes such as carcinogenesis.

TL;DR: This is the first report that AIE dots exhibit certain permeability to cellular nucleus, making them attractive potential candidates for nucleus imaging, opening a new avenue in the development of fluorescent probes for monitoring biological processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple but successful molecular design strategy for synthesizing efficient solid-state emitters for non-oped OLEDs with both deep blue and white emissions was reported, which utilizes triphenylethene, a weakly conjugated AIE luminogen, as building block for constructing deep blue emitter, involving no complicated control of emission color through adjustment of the steric hindrance of chromophores, and enables a wide selection of partnered functional units.
