Article Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease with very high incidence and mortality rates every year. However, cancer drug resistance greatly mitigates the cure rates of tumors, and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) plays an important role in the development of cisplatin resistance. We developed the aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) TPE-CYP to monitor the changes in CYP450. The TPE-CYP fluorescent probe was successfully used to assess CYP450 levels in tumor cells and tumor tissue sections. This study presented that CYP450 level in HepG2/DDP cells (cisplatin-resistant cells) was higher than that in HepG2 cells, and the inhibition of CYP450 by 1-ABT effectively improved the tumor resistance. Thus, CYP450 plays a key role in the development of tumor resistance. The synergistic effect of 1-ABT and the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin was superior to that of cisplatin alone in tumor-bearing mice. The TPE-CYP probe will provide an idea for the clinical implementation of individualized tumor treatment strategies, through the accurate monitoring of CYP450.

Illicit drug abuse poses a significant global threat to public health and social security, highlighting the urgent need for rapid, sensitive, and versatile detection technologies. To address the limitations of traditional chromatographic techniques-such as high costs and slow response times-and the drawbacks of conventional immunochromatographic sensors (ICS), including low sensitivity and non-intuitive signal outputs, a fluorescence-quenching ICS (FQICS) was developed. This sensor leverages fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between aggregation-induced emission fluorescent microspheres (AIEFMs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).

Aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) is a promising strategy for enhancing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency by minimizing energy loss of excited-state ECL emitters. However, rational design of high-efficiency AIECL emitters is hindered by limited mechanistic understanding and an unclear structure-performance relationship. To address this, four supramolecular coordination frameworks (SCFs) with varying π-bridge structures are synthesized using pyridine-functionalized tetraphenylethene (TPE) as the ligand and Pt(II) as the coordination center.

Understanding how molecular aggregation influences nonlinear optical properties is essential for advancing organic fluorophores in imaging, sensing, and photonic applications. However, the relationship between the molecular aggregation and the magnitude of nonlinear two-photon absorption cross-section remains underexplored. Here, we systematically investigate the aggregation-dependent two-photon absorption properties of the fluorophore TPAPhCN by tuning the degree of aggregation.

Breast cancer (BC), characterized by its heterogeneity and diverse subtypes, necessitates personalized treatment strategies. This study presents MF3Ec-TBPP nanoparticles (NPs) as a promising approach, integrating an aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based photosensitizer, TBPP, with the MF3Ec aptamer to enhance targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) for Luminal A subtype BC cells. The nanoparticles also feature a 1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-poly(ethylene glycol) shell and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), which stabilize the structure and inhibit singlet oxygen generation, effectively reducing off-target effects and protecting healthy tissues.

Organic high-temperature photothermal materials (T > 100 °C) have demonstrated significant application values because of their ability to exceed the temperature limits of traditional organic photothermal materials, enabling spatiotemporally controllable long-distance heating and high-temperature conversion of laser or sunlight. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in organic high-temperature photothermal materials, mainly including organic small molecule and polymer materials. Their photothermal conversion mechanisms and the factors influencing their performance as well as their applications, including photo controlled ignition/deflagration, photothermal induced actuators, photo controlled metal processing, and concentrated sunlight energy conversion were elaborated.
