TL;DR: This review focuses on the current stock of nanoparticle-based barcodes as well as the manufacturing technologies required for their production, and aims to provide a comprehensive guide for the design of suspension arrays with the goal of improving their performance in areas such as multiplexing capacity, throughput, sensitivity, and cost effectiveness.

TL;DR: DOTA–QD–VEGF primarily targets the tumor vasculature through a VEGF–VEGFR interaction and the success of this bifunctional imaging approach may render higher degree of accuracy for the quantitative targeted NIRF imaging in deep tissue.

TL;DR: D-HINPs showed a striking tumor suppression effect that was comparable to that of Doxil and greatly outperformed free Dox and can be readily extended to load other types of small molecules, making HINP a promising theranostic nanoplatform.

TL;DR: Recent advances of contrast agents, applications, and signal enhancement strategies for PAI are introduced and perspectives of PAI for deep-tissue biomedical applications are provided.

TL;DR: This photo-theranostics owns good stability, high water dispersibility and solubility, non-cytotoxicity, and good biocompatibility, thus facilitating its biomedical applications, particularly for multi-modal optical, CT and photoacoustic imaging-guided PDT or sonodynamic therapy.
