Article Abstract
HS has emerged as a promising biomarker for many diseases such as colon cancer and metformin-induced hepatotoxicity. Real-time monitoring of HS levels is significant for early accurate diagnosis of these diseases. Herein, a new accurate and reliable nanoprobe (Au NRs@Ag) was designed for real-time dynamic ratiometric photoacoustic (PA) imaging of HS based on the endogenous HS-triggered local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) red-shift. The Au NRs@Ag nanoprobe can be readily converted into Au NRs@AgS via the endogenous HS-activated sulfurative reaction, subsequently leading to a significant red-shift of the LSPR wavelength from 808 to 980 nm and enabling accurate ratiometric PA (PA/PA) imaging of HS. Moreover, dynamic ratiometric PA imaging of metformin-induced hepatotoxicity was also successfully achieved by the designed PA imaging strategy. These findings provide the possibility of designing a new ratiometric PA imaging strategy for dynamic monitoring of HS-related diseases.

Accurate temperature feedback is crucial for effective photothermal therapy (PTT). Here, a clinically translatable thermometrically self-regulating nanoaggregate (NA), JICG@PVP, composed of indocyanine green (ICG) J-type aggregates and polyvinylpyrrolidone, is proposed for precision-guided PTT with three-dimensional thermographic monitoring. These self-regulating NAs exhibit thermosensitive behavior in the 37-52 °C range, which can dissociate to clinically applicable ICG monomer molecules with ratiometric optical absorption changes at 780 and 895 nm, enabling precise temperature monitoring through a linear correlation between this absorption ratio and in situ temperature.

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is an essential procedure for accurate disease staging and treatment planning in patients with melanoma and breast cancer. Conventional preoperative imaging primarily utilizes lymphoscintigraphy with technetium-99m (Tc-99m), which presents several limitations, including radiation exposure, logistical challenges, and potential delays in surgical workflow. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has emerged as a promising alternative, leveraging optical contrast provided by indocyanine green (ICG).

Visualization of oxidative stress dynamics during acute liver injury is crucial for revealing its pathogenesis. However, developing reversible probes to monitor oxidative stress dynamics in vivo continues to pose a challenge. Herein, we reported the design of small-molecular photoacoustic (PA) probes (PA1-4) based on the meso-amino-BODIPY skeleton.

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is essential for glutathione metabolism and is overexpressed in many cancers, making its sensitive and quantitative detection crucial for early cancer diagnosis. However, existing imaging strategies often lack sufficient sensitivity and accuracy. Herein, we present a near-infrared (NIR), ratiometric photoacoustic nanoprobe () for quantitative GGT detection.

Tracking the quantitative evaluation of therapeutic efficiency in tumors is essential for the precision management of cancer patients. Theranostic probes, which integrate diagnostic molecular imaging and therapeutic capabilities into a single entity, can be used to monitor the treatment process and reflect the therapeutic effect. However, current theranostic probes lack precise quantitative evaluations due to the use of single-wavelength imaging during tumor therapy.
